A brief statement of committee organization, subcommittees, research

List of committee accomplishments including recommendations made to
agencies other than the Faculty Senate:

 
This year the committee strove to increase the participation of the
universities' schools and departments in our scholarship procedures.

In evaluating our accomplishments for the past year, all committee
members felt that we had generated greater participation, and more
thorough cooperation with our procedures. We instituted the procedure
of sending out reminder notices not only in the fall, but also at the
beginning of March, when many awards are determined. We felt that this
was partly responsible for the much greter response we received. This
year, six student athletes were informed that their grants would not be
renewed, but none appealed. To date this year, the committee has not
had to consider any scholarship appeals.

Citation of the numbers of Senate resolutions that originated with the

committee.
No resolutions were presented to the Faculty Senate this year.

Proposals and/or business to be carried over to next year:

The committee seemed to function smoothly and efficiently this year.
Now that guidelines and procedures have been established reasonably
well, no really pressing problems remain. The committee's primary
goals for next year will be to continue to increase participation among
the schools and departments in notifying us of awards, and to continue

to monitor the availability of funds: for student aid.
