<div>== Goal ==<br />
The Scholarship Program provides a means for low-income youth to initiate membership and establish themselves at Knox Makers without financial hardship. Scholarships target budding makers from 16 to 24 years old.<br />
<br />
== Funding Sources ==<br />
Donations to the Scholarship Program will be gratefully accepted from anyone, but our focus is on soliciting businesses and the general public. Donations may be made singly or on an ongoing basis (eg, via PayPal subscription). Donations are tax deductible and tax letters will be made available to donors upon request.<br />
<br />
== Term and Value ==<br />
Scholarships span six months ($300 @ $50/mo) and include a $300 gift certificate which can be used to buy class tickets and material from Zone stores, for a total value of $600.<br />
<br />
== Availability ==<br />
On July 1st of each year, the value of the Scholarship Fund is assessed. For each $600 available, one scholarship becomes available. If the scholarship goes unawarded, the funds continue to accumulate.<br />
<br />
== Nominators ==<br />
The Board of Directors appoints nominators from local educational institutions. When scholarships become available, they are divided among the nominators.<br />
<br />
== Beneficiaries ==<br />
Beneficiaries are selected by nominators on the basis of their interest, promise, and need.<br />
<br />
== Onboarding ==<br />
Scholarship recipients must follow the standard path to membership – by filling in the Intent to Join form, attending a New Member Onboarding session, completing a probationary period, and being voted in. Since the scholarship satisfies the first month’s dues, the probationary period begins when the recipient first visits the Knox Makers workshop.<br />
<br />
== Unsuccessful Applications and Ghost Members ==<br />
If the nominee’s membership vote is unsuccessful or if they are non-participatory, the remaining value of their scholarship reverts to the scholarship fund.<br />
<br />
== Privacy ==<br />
Numbers of scholarships available and awarded will be reported to the Knox Makers membership, but the identities of the recipients will be kept private.</div>Issachttps://wiki.knoxmakers.org/3D_Printing3D Printing2024-01-26T23:06:06Z<p>Rhubarb: /* Equipment */</p>

<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
=About=<br />
Due to success of online voting in the past and to promote voting access to more members, the 2024 Annual Members Vote will be held online.<br />
<br />
The virtual voting process will be similar to the previous years with some minor differences to ballot activation and timeline.<br />
<br />
=Goals=<br />
* Enable members to cast one vote online.<br />
* Allow voters to confirm they have voted.<br />
* Remove identifying information from votes.<br />
* Produce voting results.<br />
<br />
=Process=<br />
# The voter pool is populated using HaxDB to pull members name, email, and mattermost username.<br />
# A unique key is generated and assigned to each voter in the voter pool.<br />
# Invitations are sent to each voter in the pool through their email address and mattermost message. Each invitation provides a link containing that voter's unique key.<br />
# Voters use the link to cast their ballot. Submitting a ballot saves the results associated with the voter's unique key and removes them (and their identifying information) from the voter pool.<br />
# Voters may continue to use the link to verify that that their ballot has been cast.<br />
<br />
=Timeline=<br />
* Vote invitations will be sent out January 9, 2024.<br />
* The ballot will become active immediately upon invitation.<br />
* The ballot will remain active until January 23, 2024 at 7:30pm.<br />
* Voting results will be shared January 23, 2024 during the Annual Member Meeting.</div>Jondalehttps://wiki.knoxmakers.org/AuthorizationAuthorization2023-12-30T20:08:27Z<p>Rhubarb: /* 3D Printing */</p>
