Maximum Allowable Scholarship Recipient Award Value
The following new policies have been established regarding those that are selected to receive NSBE scholarship awards. This is an active policy for all scholarships moving forward.
- Each scholarship recipient cannot be awarded more than two (2) scholarships in a given program year.
- Members that apply for more than one scholarship that has an internship requirement MUST rank acceptance of scholarship for awarding, if selected as a recipient. (A member cannot accept both internships for a given time period, thus must decide prior to selection which scholarship/internship they would want to accept in priority order.)

One of the greatest challenges facing educators today is the achievement gap between white and minority students. Educators are expected to close this gap by applying new knowledge effectively.
In this age of accountability, schools often are compared against one another to measure performance. Many consider such comparisons essential in determining how students are doing.
But often, the characteristics used to compare ''similar'' schools or school systems do not truly depict the students. Two frequently used features -- size and type (urban, rural, suburban) of school system -- tell very little about the students actually found there.
Performance is often compared among types of students, as well. Many urban school systems, including every big-city system in Ohio, track performance on achievement tests by race or gender to assess how different groups of students compare with one another.............
