questions designed to assess the qualifications of the applicant, the

record for subsequent review.

the Board shall conduct additional rounds of scoring until a final rank order
has been determined and agreed upon by a majority vote of the members of the
Board present.

order of applicants shall be recorded in the minutes of the Board.

shall be determined based on total funding appropriated by the General Assembly

determined by the Board.

Board shall take action awarding the scholarships available based on the rank
order of scholarship applicants approved for awards.
