RECIPIENT CERTIFICATION

Please read the following conditions regarding your scholarship(s). 

I understand that Blue River Community Foundation Scholarships may be used only at an accredited educational institution. In addition, I understand that the information contained in my application may be shared with the scholarship advisory committees, the Foundation’s Board of Directors and/or the scholarship sponsor. As a scholarship recipient, Blue River Community Foundation has my permission to use my name, photograph and any general, non-financial information included in this application for publicity purposes.

I understand that my behavior and conduct, both in the classroom and elsewhere, were important to my selection as a BRCF Scholar. I understand that my character and conduct at any time prior to and after the selection process may impact my eligibility to become or remain a BRCF Scholar. I understand that I represent the Blue River Community Foundation, and therefore, I am expected to maintain high standards of conduct in accordance with state and federal laws. I further understand that failure to do so may result in termination of any scholarship(s).

I authorize school personnel and/or other individuals to provide data or information about me, as a part of this application, directly to Blue River Community Foundation including, but not limited to, my academic, disciplinary, and extra-curricular activities, and I waive the right to review any such submissions. (You may amend or rescind this authorization statement at any time by submitting a written request of such to the Foundation.)

I hereby certify that the information I provided on my scholarship application is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. (Falsification of information may result in disqualification and/or termination of any scholarship granted.)

I understand that scholarship funds are paid directly to my educational institution and are to only be used for qualified educational expenses.

Awards less than $10,000 are paid annually in August. Larger awards may be disbursed over semesters. I understand that unused, award funds are refunded directly to Blue River Community Foundation for the following reasons: not enrolled for the current academic term, withdrawing from classes at any point during the school year, dismissed from my institution for any reason, and if my total cost of tuition and required fees have been met by other gift aid.

AGE REQUIREMENT

Due to the fact you are NOT 18 years of age or older, a parent/guardian is also required to sign your claim form due to certification requirements.  Please contact Julie Alvis at jalvis@blueriverfoundation.com or 317.392.7955 ext. 102 with any questions.
