Scholarship terms
*
I understand the scholarship terms: it covers the day I am selected for and cannot be moved to another day, passed to someone else, or rolled over to another season. If selected, I have 10 days to confirm, book my day and pay a $25 deposit, which is refunded in full when I attend. If I cancel or do not attend, I lose the deposit and will not be prioritized for a scholarship in the future; a medical reason or a true emergency is the exception. If IST cancels the day, I will be offered one of my other picked days if a spot is open.
