The aforementioned forms - Form 990, Schedule A, Schedule J, and Schedule O are available to be worked on and reviewed by all members of both the Committee and Board of Directors who are present. During the months of December and January, every member of the Committee and Board of Directors is asked to attend the meetings during that specified time to help complete the application and work on the forms. One of the Board members prepares in draft the 990, the Schedule A, Schedule J, and Schedule O. * Another member of the Committee reviews the draft 990, the Schedule A, Schedule J, and Schedule O The draft 990, the Schedule A, Schedule J, and Schedule O is then passed on to another Committee or Board member to put in final. The final copy of the 990, the Schedule A, Schedule J, and Schedule O is reviewed by all Board and Committee members. The final copy of the 990, the Schedule A, Schedule J, and Schedule O is then filed with the CFC application to be submitted online. Those who are not present when the complete CFC application is finalized for submission receive a copy of the CFC application which includes the final forms of the Form 990, Schedule A, Schedule J, and Schedule O, hand delivered or by mail. A copy of the application which includes the final forms of the 990, Schedule A, Schedule J, and Schedule O is kept on file at the scholarship's office by the president for review by the entire Committee and Board members.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12a Part VI Section B12 A Does the organization have a written conflict of interest policy Yes, as stated in the following narrative CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY Conflict of Interest Defined as A conflict of interest is defined as an actual or perceived interest by a Board or Committee member in an action that results in or has the appearance of resulting in personal or professional gain. A conflict of interest occurs when a Committee or Board member has a direct or fiduciary interest in another relationship. A conflict of interest could include Ownership with a member of the Board of Directors or Committee where one or the other has supervisory authority over the other or with a client who receives services. Employment of or by a member of the Board of Directors or Committee where one or the other has supervisory authority over the other or with a client who receives services. Contractual relationship with a member of the Board of Directors or Committee where one or the other has supervisory authority over the other or with a client who receives services. Creditor or debtor to a member of the Board of Directors or Committee where one or the other has supervisory authority over the other or with a client who receives services. Consultative or consumer relationship with a member of the Board of Directors or Committee where one or the other has supervisory authority over the other or with a client who receives services. The definition of conflict of interest also includes any bias or the appearance of bias in a decision-making process that would reflect a dual role played by a member of the scholarship. For example, a Board or Committee member, who is judging essays knows an applicant and refuses to remove him or herself from judging that essay. The Committee and Board of Directors will insist that the member not evaluate that applicant's package. The member then removes his or herself for that applicant. If the member refuses to remove his or herself from the evaluation process of that applicant, that member is dismissed from the Board and/or Committee Employee Responsibilities It is in the interest of the scholarship for Committee and Board members to strengthen trust and confidence in each other, to expedite resolution of problems, to mitigate the effect and to minimize organizational and individual stress that can be caused by a conflict of interest. Committee and Board members are to avoid any conflict of interest, even the appearance of a conflict of interest. The scholarship serves the educational community as a whole rather than only serving one special interest group. The appearance of a conflict of interest can cause embarrassment to the scholarship and jeopardize the credibility of the scholarship. Any conflict of interest, potential conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest is to be reported to the Committee and Board members immediately. Committee and Board members are to maintain independence and objectivity with students, parents, teachers and principals. Committee and Board members are called to maintain a sense of fairness, civility, ethics, and personal integrity even though law, regulation, or custom does not require them. Acceptance of Gifts: Members of the Board and Committee and immediate family members of Committee and Board members are prohibited from accepting gifts, money or gratuities from the following: Persons receiving benefits or services from the Committee and Board members; Any person or organization performing or seeking to perform services under contract with the scholarship; and Persons who are otherwise in a position to benefit from the actions of any Committee and Board member of the scholarship. Committee and Board members may, with the prior written approval of the Committee and Board members, receive honoraria for lectures and other such activities. If the Committee and Board member is acting in any official capacity, honoraria received by a Committee and Board member in connection with activities relating to the scholarship are to be paid to the scholarship. Anyone found not to be in compliance with this policy will be dismissed immediately from the Committee and Board of Directors. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12b Part 6 Section B Question 12 B Are officers, directors, trustees, and key employees required to disclose annually interests that could give rise to conflicts? Every year, especially, before the essays are judged members of the Committee and Board are asked to notify the evaluating committee, if they are a part of a group of any of the schools from which students apply or if any applicants are known to them. The member once identified will disqualify him/herself from evaluating that particular applicant's package. Scores are submitted and tabulated by averaging scores based on the number of judges for that applicant. Scores submitted by each judge are not revealed until the end of the judging session so evaluations cannot be impaired.

The process we follow is described below The definition of conflict of interest includes any appearance of favoritism in a decision-making process that would affect the outcome of the competition.
