Grant application processes vary by foundation. THE DODSON SCHOLARSHIP TRUST does not accept unsolicited proposals. THE TRUSTEES OF THE SCHOLARSHIP TRUST PROVIDE THE SCHOOL BOARDS OF ST. ELMO, IL AND HUGO, OK HIGH SCHOOL WITH A LIST OF CRITERIA TO QUALIFY FOR THE SCHOLARSHIPS. BASED ON THESE CRITERIA THE SCHOOL BOARDS SELECT THE INDIVIDUALS WHO QUALIFY FOR THE SCHOLARSHIPS. FAMILIES OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND FAMILIES OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND ARE EXCLUDED. AFTER THE NAMES OF THE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS ARE FORWARDED TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND WE ENTER INTO A SIGNED CONTRACT WITH THE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS. THIS CONTRACT SPECIFIES THE TERMS OF THE SCHOLARSHIP. BY COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE SCHOOL BOARDS AND CONTRACTS WITH THE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE INSURING THAT RECIPIENTS ARE QUALIFIED TO RECEIVE BENEFITS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SPECIFIED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT. You can also use Signal990 to research their grant history and find the best approach.
