Wautoma Area School District
Approved 2/1/90
Revised 07/25/02
Annually by February 15, The Board shall name the 12th grade student who has the highest grade point average in all subjects and who has met all graduation requirements as eligible to receive a higher education scholarship.
If two or more students in the same high school have the same grade point average and meet all graduation requirements, the high school faculty shall select the student eligible for the scholarship.
The following procedure will be the method used in which to break a tie:
1. The student receiving the scholarship is to have the highest composite ACT score (or SAT score converted to the ACT) and the student must have completed the ACT test by January of his/her senior year.
2. If the above step still results in a tie, then the students will submit a written application to the high school faculty listing his/her extracurricular activities. Special consideration will be given to the student who has had leadership roles. If the high school faculty so chooses, a personal interview could also take place to aid in the decision making process.
