Northfield High School staff will identify prospective scholarship candidates through discussions between administrators, teachers, counselors, coaches, critical needs staff, or other school employees.  Northfield High School Staff will consider multiple factors, including (but not limited to) class participation; financial need; emotional need; attitude in class, at school, and during school sponsored events; interest in participating in the event; and the potential impact on the student when the staff considers whether to recommend a student apply for a scholarship.  Northfield High School and the Northfield Foundation shall use reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the information provided in scholarship applications and shall take reasonable action to protect the confidentiality of this information.  Applicants’ names will not be disclosed to the Northfield Foundation Board during the selection process and will be disclosed to the Northfield Foundation Executive Board only on a need to know basis.  The appropriate Northfield High School administrator, teacher, counselor, or coach will connect with prospective scholarship candidate to see if the candidate is interested in any relevant program or event before recommending the student apply for a scholarship.  Interest in the event and a scholarship is critical so the Northfield Foundation does not have to deny students’ applications.
