Evaluation Instructions
Thank you for volunteering your time to review and score our RMCCF College Scholarship applications!
Please make sure to have your final applicant scores submitted by Tuesday 5/28/24.
Here are a few things to note before you begin your review process:
- You are only responsible for reviewing and evaluating each of your assigned applicants’ personal statements. Letter’s of Recommendation, Transcripts, Extracurriculars, and GPA have already been reviewed and evaluated.
- All applications will be anonymous. Each applicant has been assigned a random number between 1-31. Some of you will be reviewing applications that contain redacted information- this is to ensure that our evaluation process is free from any unintentional/unconscious bias. The information that has been redacted includes student names, affiliated high school and colleges/universities, GPA, and direct affiliations to any of our panel of evaluators. **Please note that though they have been redacted, the intent/integrity of the applicant’s essay has not been impacted nor affected.
- Each one of you should have received an email containing your individual evaluator number. If you have not received your evaluator number or you need to be reminded of your number, please email Joe Anzora at Joe@RMCcharity.org.
- Please use the following rubrics as your sole tool for evaluating your applicants’ personal statements.
- When submitting your scores, please make sure to identify your evaluator number and each applicant’s individual number. You will need to submit one form for every applicant you evaluate.
If you have any questions or concerns about the evaluation process, or need further clarification on the form and its submission, please contact Joe Anzora at Joe@RMCcharity.org or at (951) 682-2753.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT
A potential or actual conflict of interest exists when commitments and obligations are likely to be compromised by the employee or board member’s material interests or relationships (especially economic), particularly if those interests or commitments are not disclosed. As such, no RMCCF employee or board member (or familial relation of either) may apply for scholarship funds. If found to be applying for funds, said application will be withdrawn from consideration. These restrictions do not apply to Riverside Medical Clinic (RMC) employees unless the said employee is a relative of an RMCCF employee or board member.
