A scholarship may be used to pay for tuition, lab fees and required text materials. It may not be applied to transportation or housing costs.
Scholarship awards are always paid to the educational institution on behalf of the named recipient. Any unused portion will be returned to the Foundation. No awards will be made directly to students or their families.
