If any winner notification is returned as undeliverable, or if the winner does not respond to notification within ten (10) business days of the date of notification, the winner’s prize may be forfeited, and we reserve the right to award any scholarship prize to any runner-up from the remaining eligible Entries to determine a new winner. Payment of the scholarship amount to the winner of the Scholarship Contest is contingent upon and will be delayed until the winner provides reasonably satisfactory proof to us of the winner’s then current attendance or enrollment at a college (with regard to High School Students or College Students) or higher education institution (with regard to Graduate Students).

In the event of non-compliance with any of these requirements, or if the winner does not accept or receive the prize, prize may be forfeited, and we reserve the right to choose from the remaining eligible Entries to determine a new winner. If we so elect, a winner may be required to submit to, and cooperate in, a confidential background check to confirm eligibility, and to help ensure that the award of a prize to such winner will not bring us into public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably on the Scholarship Contest or Goal: beyond, as determined by our sole discretion.
