19:35:05	 From Diane Overman : Can you mute everyone?
19:46:39	 From Diane Overman : We had emails from scholarship recipients and parents about when their scholarship funds would be deposited..seems it took quite awhile for FA to do that.
19:52:50	 From Heather : Why is the review period so short?  This is a very tight schedule to coordinate interviews with multiple students.  Luckily, we had a big snowstorm just before that time and school wasn't cancelled during that short scholarship time.
19:53:34	 From Purdue for Life Foundation : @Diane Overman DFA is a bit slower than we'd like. If you can email me the students that haven't yet received funds I can check on that.
19:55:14	 From Purdue for Life Foundation : @Heather We follow the DFA timeline so we can ensure the scholarship awards are part of the student's financial aid package.
19:57:03	 From Purdue for Life Foundation : Having the awards in the financial aid package gives the students a better foundation for their decision to attend Purdue and these days the parents and students are looking hard at how much money they will get.

thank you!
20:06:42	 From Diane Overman : Ken, question for you about raising the funds for your scholarship account…would love to hear from you about that. Our club (Houston) only awards scholarships to current students, but we are always looking for ways to raise $$$. I know this is another topic. dianeover@gmail.com; happy to connect with other scholarship chairs.
20:07:38	 From Cindy Chen Derkacz Austin : Would love to hear about fundraising for scholarships as well!

20:18:10	 From Heather : Do scholarship committee members have to be Purdue Alumni Association members?
20:20:47	 From Heather : Can we receive a copy of the email that goes out to students and parents when it goes out to them?
20:22:09	 From Heather : I have never seen a copy of the email the students receive.

20:23:25	 From Amanda's iPhone : I asked this last year, but is there any updated preference on 2 x $1000 awards vs 4 x $500?
20:23:33	 From Nancy : This will be our 2nd year awarding scholarships.  Just curious if clubs have ever awarded the same student in successive years or always choose a new winner?
20:24:23	 From Tim Guggisberg : OneDrive is also available directly through a web link.  You aren't requried to use the app.
20:25:49	 From Cindy Chen Derkacz Austin : Especially for out of state students which we are
20:25:52	 From Tim Guggisberg : @Nancy - we do actively try to award to the same students...even reaching out to them to remind them to reapply.

20:26:59	 From Ken Kitts : For fundraising, most of our donations came from our Scholarship Fundraising Dinner which we held at country club type of venue. As part of this, we had QR codes all over the place to donate and also solicitated sponsors for $500  to $1,000 dollars. We also held a silent auction at the event. That is the bulk of how we raised our money.
