WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION?
The PDX Momentum Project Board of Directors is made up of four adults. One of those adults will print all the applications and review them to make sure they are complete.
The Board of Directors will give just the essay portions of the applications to the PDX Momentum Project’s Youth Advisory Committee, which is made up of five local athletes who attend high schools in SE Portland. They have played a lot of different sports and understand how the costs can really add up!
The Youth Advisory Committee will review applications (without seeing the applicant/athlete names) and vote on award recommendations.
The Youth Advisory Committee will present their recommendations to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors will make the final decision and notify the award recipients!
