ALUMNI VOLUNTEERS
Alumni volunteers share their experiences and serve as resources for prospective students who want to learn more about the Lu Memorial Scholarship opportunity.
Eligibility Requirements
You are eligible to be an alumni volunteer if you are a previous Lu Scholar or family member of a current Lu Scholar. An understanding of or willingness to learn about the Lu Memorial Scholarship program and its values is required to engage in volunteer activities.
You are not eligible to participate as an alumni volunteer if you:
Have a family member (child, sibling, etc.) who is applying to the Lu Memorial Scholarship in the current cycle.
Each year, a number of volunteers ask if they may remain active while they have a family member who is applying. We ask alumni who have family members applying to mark themselves as inactive for the year that the student is applying. Please contact the Lu Memorial Scholarship Foundation via email at scholarship@lu-memorial.org if you have questions about your personal circumstances.
Are a scholarship or college admission professional (including a high school guidance counselor or independent consultant).
Interview for any other scholarship organization with a similar mission.
Are engaged in volunteer or professional activities that may create a conflict of interest.
The only approved activity related to other scholarship programs is writing recommendation letters. Should you write one for a Lu Memorial Scholarship applicant, please note that you are an alumni interviewer.
Are a current Lu Memorial Scholarship Foundation employee or board member.
These requirements are designed to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. By removing any suggestion of improper influence, we are able to create a comfortable environment for both applicants and volunteers, as well as to safeguard the best interests of the Foundation and its candidates for selection.
Volunteers are asked to review and update their eligibility status annually to reflect their circumstances. Eligibility requirements extend to all volunteer activities, not just the interview program.
Service as an alumni volunteer is a privilege and not a right. A volunteer may elect to end participation at any time, and the Lu Memorial Scholarship Foundation reserves the right to remove or discontinue volunteers from program participation at any time, without the necessity of any reason or notice.
For questions about eligibility requirements, please contact scholarship@lu-memorial.org.
