THE COMMITTEE CONSISTS OF SEVERAL BOARD MEMBERS, PLUS 2-3 CMA MEMBERS, WITH A FOCUS ON MEMBERS WITH PARTICULAR EXPERTISE. THIS YEAR, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE NON-BOARD COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAD WORKED IN COLLEGE ADMISSIONS. THE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS ASK APPLICANTS FOR THE FOLLOWING INFO: HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES (OR COLLEGE ATTENDING, IF ALREADY IN COLLEGE), OTHER SCHOLARSHIP AID, FAMILY INFO (PARENTS, SIBLINGS), AFTER SCHOOL/EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES (SPORTS, CLUBS, JOBS, COMMUNITY SERVICE), AND YEARS IN CHARLESTOWN. APPLICANTS ARE REQUIRED TO WRITE TWO ESSAYS, ONE ABOUT WHAT THEY PLAN TO STUDY IN COLLEGE, AND ONE ABOUT A WOMAN (NOT THEIR MOTHER) WHO HAS INSPIRED THEM. APPLICANTS MUST SUBMIT HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS, AS WELL AS COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS, IF THEY ARE ALREADY IN COLLEGE. APPLICANTS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO SUBMIT TWO REFERENCES. BEFORE THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE MEETS, ALL THE APPLICATIONS ARE CIRCULATED TO EACH COMMITTEE MEMBER. THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE THEN UTILIZES A SPREADSHEET TO EVALUATE EACH APPLICANT. EACH COMMITTEE MEMBER IS ASKED TO EVALUATE EACH APPLICANT IN FIVE CATEGORIES, EACH OF WHICH IS ASSIGNED A WEIGHTED VALUE: EXTRACURRICULAR (30%), YEARS IN CHARLESTOWN (55%), GRADES (20%), ESSAYS (25%), REFERENCES (20%). SO EACH COMMITTEE MEMBER GIVES A RATING OF 1-5 FOR EACH OF THESE CATEGORIES (5 IS BEST), AND THEN THE WEIGHTING IS APPLIED, TO COME UP WITH A SCORE IN ORDER TO NARROW DOWN THE APPLICANT POOL. ONCE WE HAVE THE FINALISTS (TYPICALLY 3-4 APPLICANTS), THE COMMITTEE MEETS TO DISCUSS FACTORS SUCH AS OTHER SCHOLARSHIP AID THE APPLICANTS HAVE RECEIVED AND PERSONAL ADVERSITY THE APPLICANTS HAVE OVERCOME, TO SELECT THE WINNER AND THE RUNNERS-UP. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 THE COMPLETED FORM 990 IS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW AND POSSIBLE REVISION.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12 CHARLESTOWN MOTHERS ASSOCIATION INC DOES NOT HAVE A FORMAL WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, BUT THEY HAVE AGREED NOT TO AWARD ANY SCHOOL OR CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS TO A BOARD MEMBER OR A BOARD MEMBER'S CHILD.
