Fund Allocation

A minimum of one scholarship will be awarded each year. The number of scholarships awarded and the amount of each scholarship shall depend on the quantity and quality of the applicants, and the amount of scholarship money donated and earned.

Financial

Funds that may be allocated to the scholarship include, but are not limited to, sponsor donations, earnings from FTSA’s Opening Night Event and any contribution made in the name of the scholarship fund. All funds will be held in a separate line item in the FTSA’s annual budget and will not be used to cover any FTSA shortage in other budget line items.
