Scholarship Interview Process Volunteer

Save to Favorites

New Futures seeks volunteers who can enrich our scholarship selection process by engaging and supporting students before and after their finalist interviews. The finalist interview is a key component of our scholarship application process that allows candidates to further advocate for a New Futures scholarship of up to $12,800.

We look for volunteers who can:

*Welcome candidates with warmth and enthusiasm.

*Help orient candidates to the interview location and agenda.

*Answer questions about the scholarship and application timeline.

*Take clear pictures of each applicant using a digital camera.

*Explain the requirements of a New Futures Scholar.

*Help New Futures staff members with set-up and signage duties.
