a. To be eligible for consideration, a student shall have applied for a Westborough High School scholarship, shall be a graduating senior and shall have been accepted for the fall semester at a post-secondary school. Recipients shall have been a member of four athletic teams during at least two of the four years of high school, excluding time lost due to injuries. An applicant must have at least one parent or guardian who has been a member of the Association for a minimum of three out of the four years of the student's high school career. To qualify for scholarship consideration, membership dues shall have been paid by the deadline defined in Article III, Section 2. Exceptions in regard to membership requirements may be made for transfer students at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee. Criteria used by the committee may include: a proven commitment to interscholastic sports as demonstrated by number of years played, level of participation and number of sports pursued; character, sportsmanship and participation of family in the Association.

b. A minimum of 50% of the net proceeds from the annual golf tournament shall be dedicated to funding scholarships.

c. In a given year, if the number of athletes who meet the criteria stated in paragraph (a) exceed the funds allocated for that year, the Scholarship Committee must address the Executive and Finance Committees to request additional funds.

d. If the Scholarship Committee is unable to award all of the funds allocated in a given year to deserving athletes following the criteria in (a) above, then deserving athletes who do not meet the membership criteria may be considered for a scholarship of a lesser dollar amount to be determined by the Executive Committee. In this case, the letter included with the scholarship will be a "nonmember" scholarship letter. Additionally, in the event that the money allocated for a given year exceeds the awarding of member and nonmember athlete scholarships, any excess funds will be placed in a reserve account for future scholarships.
