In case of endowed scholarships chosen by the donor family member, the recipient must meet Internal Revenue Service guidelines for charitable deductions for the monies to be handled by the church. i.e. “...gifts qualify for a charitable deduction only if they ‘proceed from a detached and disinterested generosity and not from anticipation of economic gain.’ Parents, relatives, employers, etc., who contribute to this program through the church cannot direct their gift to their child’s scholarship and meet the requirements for a ‘charitable’ deduction.”

Deadline for submission: August 31
