1. Payment to Institution Only

• Scholarship funds are paid directly to the recipient’s college or university and are not disbursed to the student under any circumstances.

2. Disbursement Schedule

• Funds are distributed within one academic year of the award.

• Payments will follow the institution’s billing cycle (semester or quarter system).

• Disbursement amounts are determined based on the college’s invoice and tuition schedule.

3. Institutional Instructions Required

• The recipient is required to provide HER Scholarship Fund, Inc. with the Registrar’s Office contact information, including phone number and email address, for direct coordination.

• Instructions on how to remit payment must be received from the Registrar or Financial Aid Office before disbursement begins.

4. Enrollment Requirement

• The student must remain enrolled full-time at the awarding institution to continue receiving scholarship funds.

• If the recipient withdraws or leaves the institution, remaining funds will be returned to HER Scholarship Fund, Inc.

5. Transfer Policy

• If the student transfers to another college before all funds are disbursed, remaining scholarship monies will not transfer to the new institution.

6. Use of Funds

• Funds may only be applied to tuition, required fees, books, or institution-approved educational expenses.

• Funds may not be used for personal living expenses, travel, or any non-educational purpose. *
