Jeffrey A. and Lisa R. Wilson Academic Scholarship

The Jeffrey A. and Lisa R. Wilson Academic Scholarship was created to honor the education their four children received at West Muskingum Schools. This education included opportunities to further themselves academically, athletically, and through service to others. Jeff and Lisa want to give forward to future generations of West Muskingum graduates so that they may have continued and lasting success.

REQUIREMENTS
Scoring Criteria

• 1.) 60% of the composite score will be based upon academic performance. This will include the following factors: GPA, class ranking, strength of coursework and standardized testing scores (ACT). Excellence and pursuing a difficult curriculum through AP and CCP coursework should be prioritized more highly than a higher GPA alone. Standardized testing should be considered as a measure of success in the academic process, noting college readiness and should be considered as an important factor.
• 2.) 20% of the composite score will be based upon extra-curricular activities. Activities such as student groups, outside volunteer activities, sports, work and other items will be considered with an emphasis on the time and meaningful support these activities supply to the individual's development and support of our community.
• 3.) 20% of the composite score will be based upon leadership traits as demonstrated by noted leadership positions in various activities. Leadership should be characterized in having a leadership role in groups, in the classroom or on the field or court.
