Selection Process

• The LYBO Scholarship Sub committee will review applications.  Members of the Subcommittee with Conflicts of Interest, such as applications from family members, will recuse themselves from the review process.
• All applications that are incomplete or those that do not follow specific directions or criteria will be eliminated immediately. 
• If there are no eligible applicants the scholarship may not be awarded in the given year.
• An applicant will be deemed ineligible if they have been awarded and accepted a full scholarship to a qualifying institution.  If this occurs, a runner- up can be awarded the LYBO Scholarship.
• The LYBO Scholarship will be presented with a certificate of award by the LYBO President at the Loveland High School Award Night Ceremonies typically held in May.

Payment Process

In order to receive payment of the LYBO Scholarship the recipient must provide proof of payment from the qualifying institution.  A copy of a registrar’s receipt constitutes proof of payments.  A copy of such proof must be presented to the LYBO Treasurer by the end of the calendar year in which the LYBO Scholarship was awarded.  If proof of payment is not received within this timeframe, then the scholarship amount may be withdrawn at the discretion of the LYBO Executive Board.
