AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

The Board encourages the certified staff to maintain a set of criteria and procedures for presenting suitable awards to students for scholarships and distinguished service in any school activity.  In all cases, the relationship between the award and the relevant goal or goals of the school should be pointed out.  These awards shall serve as an incentive to enrichment of the school program and stimulation to the students’ level of thinking and living.

The Board shall be kept aware of all scholarship donors and awards.  All financial awards administered by the Meriden Public Schools shall be approved by the Board.
