Scholarship Selection Committee
The Scholarship Selection Committee is comprised of the members of the Board of Directors. The committee will announce and select scholarship recipients each year in the spring. Scholarships are a one-time award, and cannot be renewed. The Scholarship Selection Committee receives no compensation.

Scholarship Criteria
The Scholarship Selection Committee will evaluate each applicant on the following criteria:

• Academic Achievement
  
• Leadership Skills
  
• Community Involvement
  
• Financial Need

The Crystal C. Chavez Foundation realizes that to be effective we must be selective and so our first scholarship efforts will be focused on students enrolled in the El Monte Union High School District with future plans on extending our focus to surrounding school districts.
