• The first preference shall be students who are family members of employees in the Division of Administration & Finance, at the date of application/nomination.

• In the event that there may be no candidates eligible for consideration who satisfy this first preference, then the secondary preference shall be students who demonstrate some other substantive connection to the Division (i.e. status as a former student employee of the Division).

• Consideration will also be given to a candidate’s academic success, financial need, and previously demonstrated leadership, involvement in extracurricular activities and community service and/or work.
