Well, it is a bit of a silly decision to associate the scholarship with one of the members from the winning alliance. First of all, the person most suited for the scholarship might not be on the winning team! They could be on the lowest ranked team! If we want to be a fair, a method of doing such might be writing a one page application or so (one member of each team at the competition would get to write one, they would be selected based off of a team vote similar to the Deans List award). However, having the scholarship for a member of the winning alliance can be a nice reward and I would say that it doesn't hurt to do it this way. Just a bit of extra initiative.

I personally think that the recipient of the scholarship on the winning alliance should be chosen from a cohesive mentor vote based on season contribution and skill.

WVROX most likely got this from a sponsor, although I am not sure. It would be best to ask someone involved with WVROX.
