Nomination Workflow

After submission, a Student Scholarship nomination progresses through the following stages:

  1. Submitted — The nominator submits the completed nomination.
  2. Approved by State — A State Approver reviews and advances the nomination.
  3. Approved by Section — A Section Approver reviews and advances the nomination.
  4. Open for Evaluation — An NIAAA Admin opens the nomination for evaluation by the NIAAA board.
  5. Evaluated — Student Scholarship Evaluators score the nomination.

NIAAA Student Scholarship nominations progress through state → section → national levels.

Deadlines vary by state and section. The dates shown in the "Creating a Nomination" section above reflect your state and section deadlines, if available.

  1. State Review — After the state deadline, the State Approver for your state reviews submitted nominations and advances selected ones to Approved by State. State Committee Members have read-only access to nominations in their state during this phase.
  2. Section Review — The Section Approver reviews state-approved nominations and advances selected ones to Approved by Section. Section Committee Members have read-only access to nominations in their section during this phase.
  3. National Evaluation — An NIAAA Admin opens section-approved nominations for evaluation. Student Scholarship Evaluators can then view and score these nominations in the app. Evaluators can only access nominations that have been set to Open for Evaluation.
