5 I - Types of Scholarships Boines Scholarship Program There are three types of scholarships available to be distributed from the Boines Fund: (1) Boines College Scholarships, (2) Boines St. John Oratorical Festival College Scholarships, and (3) Boines Hellenic College/Holy Cross Scholarships. These scholarships shall be for the first year of college, except as otherwise stated. II - Who Is Entitled A. A graduating high school student may apply for any of the above three scholarship programs if he/she has fulfilled the following three requirements during the past school year: (1) perfect Sunday School attendance, (2) participation in two of the following: (a) St. John Oratorical Festival, (b) church choir, (c) altar service (for boys), and (3) sufficient active participation in GOYA as determined by the point award system in the GOYA Youth Directory (as it may be amended). B. Perfect attendance in Sunday School is defined as follows: 1. On-time attendance every Sunday throughout the church year, the exception being that two unexcused absences during the year are allowed. 2. If the student arrives in Church later than the reading of the Bible, the student shall be deemed to be absent that Sunday, even if he or she is present for the remainder of the Divine Liturgy and the Sunday School class thereafter. 3. An absence shall be excused if the student presents a note from a parent that the student was ill, or if the student presents a note from another Orthodox Sunday School teacher that the student attended Sunday School in another Orthodox Church. 4. Singing in the Church Choir and/or service as an altar boy during the Divine Liturgy is also an excused absence if the student arrives in choir or the altar service at the beginning of the Divine Liturgy. C. Scholarships will be available only to the children of parishioners who have been stewards of the Holy Trinity Parish for three consecutive years immediately preceding the candidate s graduation, except that this three-year requirement shall not apply for the award of St. John Oratorical Festival scholarship awards. III - Amount of Scholarship Awards A. An amount equal to approximately 2.5% of the fund (determined as of April 30 each year) will be made available for scholarships. B. No one scholarship grant shall exceed $7, (for example, if there is only one eligible student) or be less than $3,500. The scholarship amounts may otherwise vary from year to year, depending on the number of eligible students, The Boines Scholarship Committee (see IV below) may request additional funds from the Parish Council, to be distributed from the Boines Fund, if it determines that the 2.5% distribution is not enough to accommodate at least $3,500 for each eligible student. C. Graduating high school students who have participated in the St. John Oratorical Festival are also entitled to the following additional scholarships awards, provided they have met the three requirements contained in the first paragraph of this section. $250 for all students who participate at the local level; $500 for students who succeed to the regional level; $750 for students who succeed to the Metropolis level; and $1000 for students who succeed to the national level. D. Scholarship awards may be made available for the children of Holy Trinity parishioners who matriculate in Hellenic College/Holy Cross on the following basis. A first year student entering Hellenic College will be entitled to a scholarship amount double the amount otherwise available to first year students entering other colleges. The son of parishioners who enter Holy Cross for the avowed purpose of preparing for and entering the priesthood will be entitled to a scholarship for the full eight year Hellenic College/Holy Cross program (assuming funds are available) leading to the priesthood, provided that prior to the award of any such scholarship such student agrees to request ordination within three years following his graduation from the seminary. The intent of such an award to a student who enters Hellenic College/Holy Cross leading to the priesthood is to supplement, and not replace, other scholarship programs available at the Hellenic College/Holy Cross such as the Leadership 100 scholarship program. It is required that the student apply for all other scholarship grants available before an award is made hereunder. IV - Boines Scholarship Committee A Boines Scholarship Committee will be elected by the parishioners during a duly convened General Assembly to administer this program. The parish priest and the President of the Parish Council will serve as ex officio members of the Boines Scholarship Committee. V - These rules may be amended, subject to a majority vote by a duly convened General Assembly of the Parish.
