AISES Call for Scholarship Reviewers
AISES is seeking volunteer Scholarship Application Reviewers for the 2023-2024 Review Period. The AISES scholarships play a critical role in providing financial support for our undergraduate and graduate students. As a result, AISES relies on a supportive network of scholarship reviewers to execute a high-integrity and fair process. All scholarship reviews will be done electronically within our OASIS Scholarship System.
The deadline to sign up to be a reviewer is May 15, 2023
Guidelines for serving as a reviewer:
-
Reviewers must have a minimum of a bachelors’ degree or three years of experience as a STEM professional.
-
Reviewers must be an AISES member, STEM professional, or work with/for an AISES partnership organization (foundation, corporate donor, federal partner agency, etc.).
-
Reviewers do NOT have to be Native American or Alaskan Native to serve as a reviewer-they do need to be committed to the AISES mission.
-
Reviewers must sign a confidentiality agreement to keep all information confidential to protect the privacy of students.
-
Reviewers must inform AISES of any potential conflicts of interest/bias if an applicant in their portfolio is a personal acquaintance or family member.
-
If a reviewer is a close relative of a child, they will not be allowed to serve as a reviewer.
- Reviewers agree that if they cannot complete their review assignments, they will inform AISES immediately as the process is time-sensitive.
- Reviewers will be expected to read between 25-30 applications over a 4-week review period. Each application will take approximately 30 minutes (on average, some more, some less) to read and score. The commitment, therefore, will be about 15 hours total.
Please follow the link below if you are interested in participating in the AISES 2023-2024 scholarship review process. If you are selected to participate as an AISES Scholarship reviewer, you will be notified and receive additional information after the form is closed.
