Merit Proposal to Scholarship Section—Bobby provided an explanation as to why this change was necessary. This change<br />

is based on the size of the state. There would be a minimum of one winner from each state, and two winners for the outlier<br />

states. The additional winners would be based on the merit and number of students within the state. This does not change<br />

the state awarding of scholarships. Bobby said we will evaluate this method year by year.<br />

outsourced.<br />

meeting.<br />
