Funding
Funding is determined on an annual basis. The Foundation reserves the right not to offer grants unless funding is available. The Foundation encourages endowed scholarships supported by gifts from individuals and organizations. Potential donors are invited to contact the Foundation for more information.
Evaluation
All applications for each scholarship program will be adjudicated by the Scholarship Committee of the Foundation. Each application will be judged based on its completeness and the quality of the requirement components. If, in the opinion of the committee, no applications received in a given year warrant an award, none will be given in that year.
Payment
Payments are made directly to the selected applicant(s) soon after all applicants have been notified of the committee’s decisions. Payments are made in US dollars.
