Rubrics

Lakeisha Graham

Hello, 


We are in the process of updating our rubrics and want to create a different rubric for each scholarship on a 100 point scale. Is there anyone that can show me some examples on how to write out a rubric based on their university/school or can add some advice on this topic. 


Thanks, 

Lakeisha

We're working to improve ours as well. Would love to see what others are doing. Thanks for putting this out there Lakeisha!

We are working on ours as well.  This has been our general rubric for the last 2-3 years. 



Our Honors program has customized rubrics for Study Abroad scholarships. Here's an example of one of them. 



This is another example of one that has been customized since our original was created. 



We haven't customized many aspects of the system, but we hope to make rubrics one of them this year. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts and advice on it as well.

We have our scholarship reviewers only read a set of five questions/answers, our "Personal Statement" section. We have developed a rubric to allow reviewers to apply the same general standard across applications and reviewers.


Our scores are all 0-10 with a weight of 2.0.

We have developed a system to rate academic achievement and financial need that we apply via an Excel formula when we go to make awarding decisions for each of our 160+ funds. We then add the scores from the reviewers, academics, financial need, and donor intent (we assign points via qualification points in BAM).


Hope this is helpful to folks!

Remember that regardless of what scale you use (1-5, 0-100, etc.) the scores will be normalized to a scale of 100 when you see them in your grids so I would just use whatever is easiest.
