Applications are evaluated on the information supplied; therefore, answer all questions as completely as possible. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated. All information received is considered confidential and is reviewed only by Scholarship Management Services.

SELECTION OF RECIPIENTS
The program will utilize standard Scholarship Management Services recipient selection procedures including the consideration of past academic performance and future potential, leadership and participation in school and community activities (if characteristic of country), work experience, statement of career and educational aspirations and goals, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an outside appraisal.
    Students from India and Canada
    The academic evaluation for international applicants will include a review of the grade/mark-average based on the grading system used in the applicant’s country and a review of the results of academic examinations. This information is evaluated to complete the academic ranking of international applicants.
Once scholarship recipients are selected, financial data is reviewed to determine the amount of each award, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. The minimum award of $1,000 is considered an honorarium.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship Management Services. In no instance does any officer or employee of Cenveo play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Applicants will be notified by early June. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

PAYMENT OF SCHOLARSHIPS
The Cenveo Scholarship Fund processes and sends the scholarship payments by August 14. Checks are mailed to each recipient's home address and are made payable to the school for the student.

OBLIGATIONS
Recipients have no obligation to the Cenveo Scholarship Fund or Cenveo and affiliated companies. They are, however, required to notify Scholarship Management Services of any changes in address, school enrollment, or other relevant information and to send a complete transcript when requested. Recipient and Employee both agree to allow Cenveo to release their names in the event a company announcement is made listing recipients of the scholarship program.
