grants. Two applicants shall be eligible for a $500 grant to further

meeting of the year.

and follow the instructions on the scholarship application form. The
current TABC officers shall review all applications to determine
eligibility. Once eligibility is established, the TABC Board of
Directors will determine which two applicants shall receive the grants.
The grants shall be awarded in September.
