Individual award amounts will be determined by the annual cost at the recipient's institution, and any other financial aid (excluding loans) received by the student. The award will be applied to tuition, fees, and books.

Recipients may attend an accredited, public or private, two-year or four-year, college, university, or technical college. The recipient's school of choice must be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
