Changes
This policy is subject to changes as follows:
A. If the student population or requests for scholarships are low, the base amount given to applicants may be increased or special on-time book scholarships may be awarded.
B. If there is a very significant negative change in the financial climate or increase in scholarship needs, awards may have to be reduced the following year.
C. DSF hopes to raise base scholarships award levels (dollar amounts) as often as possible.
