Scholarship Rules
Scholarship Award Recipient Rules and Agreement

This agreement is between the Miss Colorado Scholarship Foundation (“Provider”) and the scholarship award recipient (“Recipient”). Scholarship awards are administered in accordance with applicable Miss America Scholarship Foundation (MASF) rules and Miss Colorado scholarship requirements.

Recipient Responsibilities

To remain eligible for scholarship disbursement, the Recipient must:

Comply with all eligibility requirements and obligations outlined in their signed delegate or titleholder contract.
Remain in good standing with applicable local, state, and national programs.
Uphold the organization’s ethical conduct, integrity, and behavioral standards.
Complete required paperwork accurately and on time.
Fulfill required philanthropic commitments and fundraising obligations.
Communicate with the Provider annually regarding academic progress and any changes in circumstances affecting scholarship eligibility.
Confirm school accreditation, maintain scholarship records, and submit required documentation before applicable deadlines.
Approved Scholarship Uses

Scholarship funds may be used for tuition and mandatory educational fees at accredited educational institutions. Eligible institutions may include colleges, universities, community colleges, and accredited trade, vocational, culinary, beauty, or technical schools.

Scholarship funds may not be used for:

Student loan repayment.
Housing, dorm expenses, or room and board.
Meal plans.
Transportation.
Personal expenses.
Optional books or supplies.
Books and supplies may be considered only when officially billed by the educational institution and permitted under applicable MASF rules. Questions about an expense’s eligibility must be submitted to the Provider before requesting payment.

Scholarship Usage Periods

Miss Recipients: Scholarship funds generally must be used within two years of the award date, subject to the approved timeline for the specific award.

Teen Recipients: Scholarship funds are typically held until the Recipient graduates from high school or turns 18. Once eligible to access the funds, the Recipient generally has two years to use them. Younger Teen recipients may therefore have additional time before their scholarship usage period begins.

National Titleholders: Extended timelines may apply based on the national scholarship structure and applicable MASF requirements.

Recipients are responsible for confirming the eligibility date and deadline for each award. Scholarship funds not used within the applicable approved period will be forfeited.

Order of Scholarship Use

Recipients must exhaust applicable local scholarship awards before requesting state scholarship funds. State scholarship funds may also need to be used before certain national awards, as required by MASF guidelines.

Disbursement Requests and Payment

Each request must include:

A completed Scholarship Request Disbursement Form.
An official, detailed, current school billing statement showing eligible charges and the balance due.
Any additional documentation required by the Provider or MASF.
Requests must be submitted at least 21 days before the payment deadline to allow for processing. Recipients are responsible for planning ahead and submitting complete documentation on time.

Approved payments are made directly to the educational institution. Payments will not be made directly to the Recipient, and personal reimbursements will not be honored. The amount requested may not exceed the eligible balance due to the institution.

All disbursements are subject to applicable MASF procedures, approved uses, and scholarship deadlines.

Failure to Meet Requirements

Failure to meet eligibility, conduct, fundraising, contractual, or documentation requirements may result in loss of scholarship eligibility or forfeiture of scholarship funds.

Titleholder responsibilities and any consequences affecting a title are governed by the signed titleholder contract. Relinquishing a title does not automatically extend a scholarship deadline.

False or inaccurate information may result in disqualification, scholarship forfeiture, or repayment obligations.

Tax Responsibility

The Recipient is responsible for determining whether any scholarship payment must be reported as taxable income, regardless of whether a tax form is issued. Recipients are encouraged to consult a qualified tax advisor regarding their individual circumstances.

Questions

For questions about scholarship eligibility, approved educational institutions, deadlines, or disbursement requests, contact finance@misscolorado.org.

Recipient Acknowledgment and Agreement

I have read, understand, and agree to the Scholarship Award Recipient Rules above. I understand that receiving an award does not guarantee disbursement unless all applicable requirements are met. I accept responsibility for completing required obligations, submitting accurate documentation, and meeting scholarship deadlines. I understand that failure to comply may result in loss or forfeiture of scholarship benefits.
