Summary

Scholarship payments continue only while the student is making good progress and spending essentially full time on study or research to prepare for a public service career, and is not doing paid work except for any jobs the Foundation has approved in its rules. The Foundation can require students to file reports when it asks. Those reports must include a signed statement from a school official the Foundation approves saying the student is doing well and is full time in study or research, unless the Foundation has allowed otherwise.
