ALL STUDENTS APPLYING FOR ENTRANCE INTO THE INSTITUTE'S INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MAJOR (OFFERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI) ARE ASKED WHETHER THEY WISH TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A CROFT SCHOLARSHIP. A FACULTY COMMITTEE THEN EVALUATES ALL APPLICATIONS AND SELECTS UP TO 40 APPLICANTS WHO ARE INVITED TO THE INSTITUTE FOR INTERVIEWS BY THE FACULTY COMMITTEE. STUDENTS ARE THEN OFFERED CROFT SCHOLARSHIPS ON THE BASIS OF THEIR HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCE, THEIR MATURITY, THEIR DEMONSTRATED INTEREST IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, THEIR ACT OR SAT SCORES AND THEIR APPARENT LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS IN A RIGOROUS ACADEMIC PROGRAM. THE INSTITUTE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF RACE, RELIGION, ETHNICITY, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ANY OTHER CRITERION BUT ACADEMIC PROMISE, YET THE INSTITUTE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE ITS ENTERING CLASS DIVERSE IN ITS MAKEUP AND THIS EXPANDS, AS WELL, TO THE SELECTION OF CROFT SCHOLARS. EACH YEAR, THE CROFT INSTITUTE AWARDS ONE SCHOLARSHIP OF $8,000 PER ACADEMIC YEAR TO THE STUDENT IN THE FRESHMAN CLASS WHO HAS EXCELLED IN HIS OR HER STUDIES AND SHOWS SUPERB ACADEMIC PROMISE FOR THE FUTURE. ALL FRESHMEN WITH GRADE POINT AVERAGES OF 3.90 OR ABOVE ON A SCALE OF 4.00 ARE CONSIDERED. PRIMARILY ACADEMIC CONSIDERATIONS ARE FACTORED INTO THE SELECTION OF THE WINNER, THOUGH STUDENTS NOT ALREADY HOLDING OTHER MAJOR SCHOLARSHIPS ARE GIVEN AN ADVANTAGE IN THIS COMPETITION. THE ETHNICITY, RACE, RELIGION, NATURAL ORIGIN AND OTHER PROTECTED CLASS STATUS OF APPLICANTS ARE NOT CONSIDERED NEGATIVELY OR POSITIVELY IN THE AWARDING OF THESE SO-CALLED "ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE" SCHOLARSHIPS. ON OCCASION, THE CROFT INSTITUTE AWARDS A SCHOLARSHIP OF UP TO $9,000 PER YEAR TO AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT APPLICANT FOR ITS INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MAJOR. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO GIVE CROFT STUDENTS INTERNATIONAL PEERS WHO ARE IN THE PROGRAM FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS. APPLICANTS ARE SELECTED ON THE BASIS BOTH OF PAST ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL NEED (AS FAR AS THE LATTER CAN ACCURATELY BE DETERMINED). STUDENTS FROM EAST ASIA, EUROPE AND LATIN AMERICA ARE GIVEN PREFERENCE, AS CROFT STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO CONCENTRATE A MAJOR PORTION OF THEIR STUDIES ON ONE OF THESE THREE REGIONS OF THE WORLD. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 GERALD M ABDALLA JR TRUSTEE 0 357500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 357500 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 TOM A.
