Value
Unless otherwise stated, one eligible applicant will be awarded $1,500 after review. Selection is based on alignment with the scholarship's mission and criteria.
Selection and Verification Process
Entries are evaluated based on the essay submitted during the application window by a Scholarship Administrator. All decisions are final. Winners will be contacted via email. To receive the award, winners must sign and return a Liability Waiver and an IRS W-9 Form (if required), and provide a mailing address (for check payments) and Social Security number. Payments are typically distributed within 30 to 45 days after all verification is complete. Scholarship awards are reported to the IRS, and winners are responsible for paying any applicable taxes. If a winner does not comply with these requirements, they may be disqualified, and an alternate winner may be chosen.
Disputes
Unless prohibited by law, all disputes related to the Scholarship must be handled individually (not through class action) and resolved in a Delaware court. Both parties waive the right to a jury trial for any claims.
