Five professional and business leaders currently comprise KCEA's Scholarship Committee to oversee the program, to ensure established policies are followed, and to review the program in light of KCEA's organizational mission. Detailed reports are provided to the KCEA Board and participating schools. An independent CPA annually reviews this program for programmatic compliance. Awards are determined by the Committee based upon objective criteria without the knowledge of identifiable information, such as student name, school name, etc. Letters are sent to both the student/family and school telling of the financial details of awards. Checks are issued to the schools of the students' attendance after the school has verified data and enrollment. For the 2024-256 fiscal year, scholarship awards ranged from $10 to $ 6,180. false false false Part 6 Lines 11a & b REVIEW PROCESS BEFORE FILING All members of the staff review the filing for accuracy and completeness.

Part 6 Section B Lines 15a & b PROCESS TO DETERMINE COMPENSATIONS On an annual basis, the Board meets to consider compensation issues for all staff. This meeting is conducted with no staff present. As each Board member is a leader in the religious education movement, each utilizes his knowledge of comparable compensation in the religious community to evaluate and affirm appropriate financial packages for each staff member.
