SELECTION OF RECIPIENTS

No member of the Selection Committee can have a relative who is an applicant for that year. The Selection Committee will review applicants solely on their submitted information. The committee will not be informed of the applicant's name, picture or who their employee parent is. Applicants will be notified in June whether or not they have been awarded a scholarship. Checks will be addressed to the recipients home address and will be made payable jointly to the recipient and the school and must be endorsed by both parties.
REVISIONS
Glanbia reserves the right to review the conditions and procedures of this scholarship program and to make changes at any time, including termination of the program. Previously approved scholarships will not be affected by subsequent changes to the program.
OBLIGATIONS
Recipients have no obligation to Glanbia Nutritionals unless the recipient drops out of school prior to the scholarship monies being used. In the event that the recipient discontinues school prior to the scholarship funds being used, the remaining funds should be returned to Glanbia Nutritionals.
**Please note that Scholarship winnings are considered taxable income by the IRS. As a recipient, you will be required to complete and return IRS form W-9 to us. In return, you will receive Form 1099-MISC to be filed with your annual tax return.**
