for consideration
-
- Scholarship Funding does NOT go directly to an individual. Scholarship checks will be payable to the Institution of Higher Education with the student ID # in memo.
- Scholarships offered are limited, one-time, non-renewable grants that are paid directly to the educational institution and applied only to the tuition of a student who is enrolled and in good standing.
- To assure proper supervision of awards, scholarship checks are made payable directly to the institution of higher education during the first week of July.
- Scholarship grant funds are to be applied to the student’s tuition for the upcoming semester/school-year and cannot be used to pay an outstanding balance due from a prior semester/school year.
- The educational institution is informed that, in the event the student withdraws from the institution’s educational program at such time that a refund of tuition is due, scholarship grant funds are to be returned to the Foundation and not to the withdrawing student.
