Time Commitment: All scholarship reviews will be done virtually from the comfort of home! Reviews will take place during the month of April. You must be able to commit to those dates for review, but you are free to review on your own time (morning, days, evenings, weekends) whatever works best for you. Volunteer sign-up closes March 31st. Volunteers should plan for this volunteer opportunity to take a maximum of ten hours to complete.
Volunteer Expectations: Volunteers are expected to maintain confidentiality for the reviews. An email with detailed instructions and grading rubric will be provided.

Impact: The student population at UCCS benefits tremendously from scholarships which play a critical role in helping them reach their educational dreams. Scholarships provide access to many students who might otherwise not be able to afford to go to college. Bringing in alumni and friends volunteers to the scholarship review process also broadens the reviewer pool to be more diverse and representative of our current student population. The staff and faculty members at UCCS greatly appreciate the additional help with the review process.
