Instead, scholarship awardees will be given a one-time use coupon code to use for the registration fee. Based on demand, a limit may be placed on the number of scholarships awarded per agency. If more valid applications are received than there are available scholarships, a drawing will be conducted and applicants will be chosen randomly.
