Frequently Asked Questions About the Savannah River Nuclear Solutions Family Scholarship Program

ELIGIBILITY

1. What happens to my eligibility if my parent ceases to work for SRNS prior tothe selection of winners?

If your parent’s employment with SRNS terminates before the selection of winners, your eligibility will cease. The exception is death.

2. If I have taken some advanced courses at a college or university does thatdisqualify me from the competition?

No. As long as you are a ‘resident’ student still enrolled in high school, in pursuit of a high school diploma, you are eligible.

3. I have a grandparent who works for SRNS. Would I be eligible for ascholarship?

No. Grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts, and uncles do not meet eligibility requirements. NOTE: Adopted children, stepchildren, and legal wards of employees are eligible.

4. Am I eligible for a scholarship if I plan to attend a technical school/juniorcollege?

No. Study program must be toward a bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university.

5. I’m going to finish high school early so I won’t be graduating with my class. AmI permitted to apply for a SRNS scholarship even if I don’t actually “graduate?”

Occasionally students have the opportunity to enter or continue college and get credit for finishing high school graduation requirements simultaneously. Application should be made in your last year of high school. Once you are enrolled full time at a college, you lose your eligibility for a SRNS Family Scholarship.

6. If I don’t graduate when expected (due to illness, teachers’ strike or otherreason), can I apply the following year for the scholarship competition . . . or amI permitted to compete only one time?

If you graduate within the same calendar year, your application will receive the same consideration for award during the current year’s competition. Failure to graduate within the same calendar year would preclude any award from that year’s competition.

2 7/27/15

Application could then be made under the following year’s competition, assuming you were still a full-time high school student.

7. Are dependents of retirees eligible for the awards?

No. Children of retirees are not eligible to participate in the Scholarship Program.

8. Can more than one member of the same family win SRNS scholarships?

Each application is evaluated on its own merit. Therefore, no applicant is penalized because other family members are in the same competition. Brothers and/or sisters may win Family Scholarships in the same competition.

9. Are home-schooled students eligible for the scholarship competition?

Home instruction candidates are eligible for the program. Each home instruction scholarship applicant must provide, along with a completed SRNS Family Scholarship Program application:

• a copy of his/her state’s policies and procedures for home schooling;

• a notarized copy of all related correspondence and approval letters required bythat State to approve the individual’s course of study; and

• a copy of all standardized test results required by the State for juniors and seniorson home instruction.

In addition, home instruction students may wish to take the G.E.D. as supplemental evaluation material in lieu of a transcript. In this case, the student should provide a notarized copy of his/her G.E.D. test scores. Please note that taking the G.E.D. is optional.

TESTS

10. I have already taken some or all of the required tests but the scores were not sentto the SRNS Family Scholarship Program. How do I arrange for SRNS toreceive my scores from previous tests?

If you have already taken the required tests, use the Report Request Form available at your high school, and immediately request the SAT or ACT Program to report to Code Number 6852 scores for the ACT and Code Number 6213 scores for the SAT.

11. I missed the registration date. Can I still arrange for testing?

Possibly. Limited standby (walk-in) spaces may be available. (Standby candidates are

3 7/27/15

admitted only if space, materials, and staff are available to test them after pre-registered candidates have been accommodated.) Check with your high school counselor or the Educational Testing Service for the procedures.

12. I was unable to take the required tests — will you still consider my application?

No. Failure to complete required tests will result in automatic disqualification from the competition.

13. What accommodations are made for students with disabilities?

Contact The SAT Testing Center at (609) 771-7137 or email ssd@info.collegeboard.org for information and forms.

Contact the ACT Student Services at (319) 337-1270 or the web site at www.actstudent.org/faq/contact-us for additional information.

14. Can I take the tests more than once? If so, which scores will be used in thecompetition?

Yes. The highest scores achieved on each test will be used for SRNS scholarship competition.

15. Who sees my test scores?

Your test scores are held in strict confidence. Only personnel directly involved in the selection process see your test scores or any part of your application. No information on any applicant is made available to employees, organizations or any requesting third parties.

SELECTION

16. Do I have to major in an area which will benefit SRNS or can I major inwhatever I desire?

Selection of winners is not biased for, or against, any field of study. Winners in recent years have pursued such diverse areas of study as engineering, medicine, music, art, liberal arts, dentistry, and veterinary medicine.

17. Does sex or race have any bearing on who wins a scholarship?

No. If more males apply than females, the chances are greater that more males will win. If more applicants of one race apply than another, the same circumstance would hold true.

4 7/27/15
