The ATA Scholarship Committee is looking for a few members to help us read the applications this year and make a recommendation for the scholarship recipient. Any member interested in volunteering for this job should email Diana Kent . Time involved will be minimal. Volunteers will be sent copies of the completed applications to review and rank. One meeting will be held (late April or early May) for committee members to share rankings and decide on the scholarship winners.
