Scholarship Selection Committees are the local, community level representatives of Help Educate. Selection Committees have two principal roles: 1) Select scholarship recipients, and 2) Ensure that the requirements for continued support are met. Additionally, the Selection Committee has secondary responsibilities that include communicating with the Help Educate Management Team in the United States, partner colleges in Nicaragua, and organizing community service opportunities for scholarship recipients. The Selection Committee represents a variety of interests within the municipality of El Jicaral, Leon and works to select deserving students regardless of sex, religion or political party. All actions of the Selection Committee are subject to review by the Help Educate Management Team and the Board of Directors.
