The ATSSB Board of Directors or its designee is empowered to decide who is awarded the scholarship each year.

Should the scholarship fund exceed its original goal of presenting a $1000 scholarship per year, ATSSB may adjust or increase the amount awarded as needed.  Should market conditions cause the fund to fall below the award amount, ATSSB can adjust or decrease the amount awarded as needed. At the discretion of the committee, no award may be presented if no candidate meets the committee’s approval.

All monies donated to the fund are under the direct supervision and control of the ATSSB State Board of Directors.
