Mark:  NO !!

This topic was coming on-line as I went off the CORSA/CPF BoD back in '02.
It was somebody's else's project.  I did not actively participate in the
discussions, as I was busy working on the CPF Museum relocated and related
stuff at the time.  And I knew the project was in good hands.  If memory
serves me well, I believe the scholarship fund was adapted at combined
CORSA/CPF BoD meeting in '02 and implemented for the '03 school year.  I
could easily be wrong on the dates, which really doesn't matter.

If you do not like the rules the CORSA/CPF BoD thrashed out, take it up with
them.  Or run for the combined CORSA/CPF BoD's and make it your project to
revisit to the rules.

You were so right when you commented "At the risk of getting into a subject
that doesn't need to be discussed,...." It doesn't need to be discussed in
this forum.  Take it to the combined CORSA/CPF BoD's.

Or you could accept the fact that your position did not carry the day then,
probably will not now and give it a rest.  Please.

Historically Yours,
			James Rice

At the risk of getting into a subject that doesn't need to be discussed,
that is a point upon which I differ with SOME members of the selection
committee. Note that I said only SOME. And that is my point. I feel that
CORSA scholarships should be philanthropic in nature, especially since
CORSA itself is a non-profit organization. Therefore need has every right
to be asked about and considered, IF and regardless of whether individual
members on the selection committee would consider the information.
Selection committee members are free to consider or not consider any
information provided by the applicants, and apply whatever consideration
and weight (s)he may deem proper.

I'd like to know the general feeling of everyone the answer to this (pardon
the caps) question:

DO YOU THINK CORSA SCHOLARSHIPS SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE BASED, AT LEAST
PARTIALLY, ON FINANCIAL NEED?

A simple yes or no answer is all that is needed, as a long-winded
discussion might be counterproductive.
