Checks for the winning applicant's scholarship will be mailed in late July from FGCN Treasurer to the Financial Aid Office of the institution at which the student is enrolled. No funds will be sent directly to the student.

All funds will be distributed by the Financial Aid Office according to the particular school's term-system unless the student has only one term remaining before the completion of the degree.

In the event of a change in a student's major to one other than those listed above, or if the student withdraws from school; the balance of the funds must be returned to Federated Garden Clubs of Nebraska.

The Student and Financial Aid Officer will determine how the money is to be spent: tuition, food, housing, books, etc.
