OAR 575-060-0035: Selection

(1) In administering a private award program, the Commission shall not discriminate against an applicant on the basis of age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, race, ethnic origin, creed, religion, color, national origin, or the presence of any mental, sensory or physical disability. This rule shall not prevent donors from creating awards for disadvantaged persons or other persons to the extent not prohibited by law, nor shall this rule prevent the Commission from accepting administration of such a program if the Commission, in its discretion, believes the program award criteria are lawful. (2) For a program where need is used in the selection of an awardee, an applicant shall complete a federally-approved need analysis form. The calculation of need will be determined by the Commission.
