4. How WiFi Tribe Will Determine Scholarship Winner

• At least two judges of WiFi Tribe’s Judging Committee (comprised of employees or external judges, to be selected by Wifi Tribe in its sole discretion, who are experienced professionals) will determine the top three applicants by reviewing each eligible and accepted application in its entirety, including the following components of each of the essay questions. 
• At least two judges of the Judging Committee will evaluate each application based on the following criteria, each of which will be considered in equal measure: (1) clarity and quality of the essay answers, (2) the academic and professional ambition demonstrated by the applicant, (3) demonstrated financial need and/or lack of supportive professional network, and (4) how well the applicant specifies mentorship needs, and how well the Remote in 60 Days Scholarship will support those needs.
• Each judge will score each of these elements on a 10-point scale.
• The three applications with the highest total score will be selected for a video interview.
• Judging interviews will be scheduled to take place within 3 calendar days of our email or telephone notification of the applicant’s selection for interview. 
• Our judges will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate schedules with selected applicants, but WiFi Tribe cannot guarantee or promise that any specific date or time will be available and it is the applicant’s sole responsibility to be available for a proposed interview date and time during such 3-day period as well as to attend and complete the scheduled interview on time. Failure to agree upon an interview date and time, or failure to attend a scheduled interview will result in disqualification. Applicants who are more than 5 minutes late to a scheduled interview will be deemed a no-show. 
• The interviewing judge(s) will score each interview on a 10-point scale. Interviews will be scored on the applicant’s ability to clearly communicate (a) a strong enthusiasm and commitment to their professional goals, and (b) how they expect the Scholarship to further those goals.
• To select the final winner, each interviewee’s scores (each judged element weighed equally) will be averaged across the judge(s)’ scores and totaled for a maximum score of 60 points for each applicant. Of the final three interviewed applicants, WiFi Tribe will award the Scholarship to the applicant with the highest total score. In the event of a tie, the Lead Judge will rescore the tied applicants’ entries (that is, all judged elements, except the interview) to determine the final recipient for the Remote in 60 Scholarship Program. In this event, only the Lead Judge’s final score will be considered for the tiebreaker. 
• The Judging Committee and, when applicable, the Lead Judge’s decision is final and binding.

9. Dispute Resolution

• These Scholarship Official Rules are made under, and will be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of Delaware applicable to agreements and rules made and to be performed solely therein, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. The parties agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be arbitrated pursuant to the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Act, 10 Del. C. §5801, et. seq. The arbitration will take place in Dover, Delaware, or such other location as the parties (each in their sole discretion) and arbitrator may agree. The arbitration will be presided over by one arbitrator, who will be chosen by mutual agreement of the parties. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the identity of the arbitrator, either party may file a petition with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware pursuant to Section 5805 of the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Act to have an arbitrator appointed. ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITHOUT THE RIGHT FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS ACTION BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF OTHERS. THE ARBITRATOR’S AUTHORITY TO RESOLVE AND MAKE WRITTEN AWARDS IS LIMITED TO CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND WIFI TRIBE ALONE. CLAIMS MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED UNLESS AGREED TO IN WRITING BY ALL PARTIES. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in Scholarships Official Rules, if any portion of the immediately preceding four sentences is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this paragraph will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.
