Scholarship Disbursement Information

Scholarships funds are paid directly to the student's school in accordance with the billing procedures for the academic year. For instance, if the school bills for two semesters, the scholarship amount will be paid to the school 50% for each of the two annual billings; if the school bills more frequently, the Trust will send an appropriate percentage for each billing period.

  2. Instructions from the school as to where and how they wish to have the funds transmitted, including the name, address and department of the institution to whom the funds are to be forwarded. We require a copy of the school billing prior to each semester so that we may respond to a particular invoice.
