Scholarship funds are to be used for tuition, books, and program supplies used solely for the benefit of the individual receiving the scholarship. Funds from this scholarship cannot be used towards the purchase of laptops. Before funds will be disbursed, the Foundation office must receive a note of thanks from the recipient to the donor(s).
