The Selection Committee shall select scholarship recipients who, in the reasoned view of the Selection Committee are the most deserving of scholarship awards based upon the objective criteria described below. The Selection Committee shall select scholarship recipients on an objective and non-discriminatory basis, without regard to gender or any other factor.
3. Applicant Interviews. The Selection Committee may, but is not required, to interview scholarship applicants, and may require candidates to submit written materials on matters relevant to the Selection Committee.

a. Prior academic performance;
b. Performance on tests designed to measure ability and aptitude for college and university work, such as the ACT and SAT examinations;
c. Participation in school, extracurricular, athletic, and community activities;
d. Participation in Cree cultural activities;
e. Recommendations from teachers, professors, Onion Lake members and or Elders in the community;
