The Fine Print

• Scholarships may be valued up to $2000 each. The actual amount of each scholarship may vary depending on the program of education successful applicants have chosen. Tuition, books, adaptive equipment and services as well as other program–related fees will all be considered.
• The scholarships are available for various types of educational programs, which may include government-recognized university, college and other certificate/diploma programs.
• Scholarships may be renewed on an annual basis, but applications are still required. Previous recipients will not receive preferential consideration.
• The number of scholarships offered may vary each year, according to the financial status of the Foundation.
  The decision of the Foundation’s selection committee (or board of directors) is final.
