Scholarship Management
The Pennsylvania State USBC Youth Association
Board of Directors manages the Scholarship Account. The
Pennsylvania State USBC Youth Association Manager will
answer questions, check on scholarship availability, receive
and approve scholarship use requests, and disburse
scholarship checks, per this policy.
Time Availability
Your scholarship funds are available for your
use, up to the end of the calendar year of your
twenty-fourth (24th) birthday. If no birth date
is given, your scholarship will expire two years from the
date of issue. Any funds remaining after this time period
will revert back to the Pennsylvania State USBC Youth
Association scholarship fund, and the funds will no longer
be available to you. No extension of time will be granted.
Scholarship Use
Scholarship funds may be utilized for post
secondary education, graduate studies, continuing education
courses, vocational or technical schools, or for training at
approved trade or business schools.
In addition, the scholarship may be applied
at any time to educational seminars and training, bowling
academies and camps, specialized educational camps and
studies abroad. Prior to applying for funds for such
training you must furnish the Pennsylvania State USBC Youth
Association with complete details regarding the school,
training to be pursued, length of training, etc.
The Pennsylvania
State USBC Youth Association Board approves the use of
all scholarships in question - and all decisions are
final.
Accepted Expenses
Funds may be used for tuition, room and board
(if living away from home and on a campus) textbooks, meal
plans, optional fees of the institution or organization, and
equipment necessary for the completion of the course study
which can be fully documented.
Limitations
Scholarship funds can not be applied
to the cost of primary or secondary private education,
private tutors, sports camps which do not include bowling,
specialty equipment or research work and travel which is not
directly related to the course study or chosen field of
study, transportation to and from the recipients home and
the institution or organization, personal clothing or any
other personal needs.
Scholarships are not contingent upon grades.
However, if for any reason you should leave school
permanently, any remaining funds would revert back to the
Pennsylvania State USBC Youth Association scholarship fund.
We must be promptly notified if this should occur.
Non-Transferable
These funds may only be used by the recipient
