How will the confidentiality of the application be
protected?
When the application has been received into the Mid Florida U&TCA
office, each application is given a number and an acknowledgment is sent to the
applicant. The application is handled only by the association staff. Once this
has been done, the first page of the application will be placed in a sealed
envelope and marked only with the application number. The association staff then
reviews the application in detail, and removes any and all words or references
that provide information relating to the applicant’s name, sex, race,
religion, address or Mid Florida U&TCA member company. The Scholarship
Committee will meet at predetermined times and review only sanitized copies
of the application. Should any committee member recognize the applicant
through the remaining information, that member will disqualify themselves from
the consideration of that application, and the remaining committee members will
make the determination regarding that application. Only winning envelopes are
opened, and the others are destroyed.
