PREAMBLE

Every academic year, up to two (2) deserving students attending any accredited post-secondary institution will each be granted a scholarship of $2,000.00. Whenever possible, the association might offer a third scholarship; the offer of a third scholarship is contingent to the availability of funds within the designated fiscal year.
