AISES Call for Scholarship Reviewers

AISES is seeking volunteer Scholarship Application Reviewers for the upcoming 2021-2022 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 14, 2021

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 has a child who has submitted an AISES Scholarship, 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.
• Each application will take approximately 30 minutes (on average, some more, some less) to read and score. Reviewers will be expected to read between 20-25 applications over a 4-week review period. The commitment, therefore, will be about 10-12 hours total.
