Here's a look at the process of selecting this year's finalists, from Scholarship Chair Katie K.
"The process of selecting the recipients got underway last month. A group of TJA ladies came together to read through each application. The application read-throughs are a wonderful way for the TJA membership to not only be a part of the scholarship process, but to learn about what current USC women are involved with. Every year the applicants impress us with their awards, activities and accomplishments, and this year was no exception. Special thanks to TJA member Maggie Habib for hosting the event in her home!
"The scholarship read-throughs continued at our February meeting. Once all the applications were read by the Scholarship Chair and two other TJA members we narrowed the pool down to 15 women who we invited to come in for an interview.
"Interviews took place over three nights on the USC campus in the Alumni Association offices. During these interviews candidates shared what they were doing at USC. Each of the 15 women we spoke with was very impressive! We definitely had our work cut out for us in deciding which of the 15 women would get a scholarship.
"It was so inspiring to hear what these women are doing at USC and makes us all want to be undergrads again. Good luck to all our applicants and big THANK YOU to the TJA members who participated in the scholarship read-throughs and interviews."
