AN INDEPENDENT SELECTION COMMITTEE SELECTS SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS. THE SELECTION COMMITTEE IS COMPOSED OF EDUCATORS AND IS PUT TOGETHER BY INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP AND TUITION SERVICES (ISTS), A TENNESSEE-BASED FIRM THAT ADMINISTERS THE FOUNDATION'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. THE COMMITTEE SELECTS WINNERS BASED ON CRITERIA PROVIDED BY THE FOUNDATION AND DESCRIBED IN OUR SCHOLARSHIP MARKETING MATERIALS. THE CRITERIA INCLUDE EVALUATIONS OF APPLICANTS' ACADEMIC RECORDS, TEST SCORES, AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RETAIL EMPLOYMENT. FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS, ACADEMIC RECORDS SHOULD FALL IN THE AVERAGE TO ABOVE-AVERAGE RANGE, WHICH, IN GENERAL, IS A STUDENT RANKED IN THE TOP HALF OF THE SENIOR CLASS. STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES SHOULD BE AT LEAST 18 FOR THE ACT COMPOSITE OR, FOR THE SAT COMBINED CRITICAL READING AND MATH SCORES, AT LEAST 850. STUDENTS ENROLLED IN COLLEGE SHOULD PRESENT COLLEGE GPAS THAT RANGE FROM 2.50 TO 4.00 ON A 4.00 SCALE, IN ADDITION TO HAVING THE PROPER HIGH SCHOOL CREDENTIALS. ISTS VERIFIES ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY BY REQUIRING ALL APPLICANTS TO SUBMIT HIGH SCHOOL AND ANY AVAILABLE COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS ALONG WITH THEIR APPLICATION. ALL STUDENTS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A COPY OF THEIR ACT OR SAT SCORES AS RECEIVED FROM ACT OR THE COLLEGE BOARD. ONLY THOSE APPLICANTS WHO INCLUDE THEIR TRANSCRIPTS AND PROOF OF TEST SCORES HAVE WHAT IS CONSIDERED A COMPLETE APPLICATION, THAT IS THEN REVIEWED BY THE SELECTION COMMITTEE. ONCE THE SELECTION COMMITTEE COMPILES ITS LIST OF RECOMMENDED WINNERS (AND A NUMBER OF ALTERNATES), IT IS SENT TO MICHIGAN RETAILERS, WHERE A STAFF MEMBER VERIFIES BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP AND LENGTH OF EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY. BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP IN MICHIGAN RETAILERS IS VERIFIED BY CHECKING IN 4D, OUR MEMBERSHIP DATABASE SOFTWARE. ONCE IT IS VERIFIED THAT AN EMPLOYER IS A MEMBER OF MICHIGAN RETAILERS, A PHONE CALL IS MADE TO THE BUSINESS TO VERIFY CURRENT EMPLOYMENT AND HOW LONG THE EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN THERE. IN THE EVENT OF A RECIPIENT BEING EMPLOYED BY ONE OF OUR MAJOR MEMBERS, AN EMAIL IS SENT TO THE CONTACT AT THE COMPANY TO VERIFY EMPLOYMENT. AFTER RECIPIENTS HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR SCHOLARSHIPS, ISTS MAILS THE MONEY TO THEIR CHOSEN COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY, AS NOTED IN THEIR APPLICATION. false true false false false false false false false WILLIAM J HALLAN PRESIDENT/CEO 322474 151750 6915 34970 24250 540359 SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 4 WILLIAM J.
