        <ReturnReference>Schedule D, Part X, Line 2</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The College has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that it is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC), except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. The FASB issued guidance that requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined that there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the financial statements. The College has not accrued any provision for income taxes as the College has had no significant unrelated business income. There is no interest or penalties recognized in the statement of activities or statement of financial position. The tax years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Schedule I, Part I, Line 2</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The College offers a wide variety of merit and need-based scholarships and awards to matriculating students. Merit awards are given in recognition of various achievements as specified in donors' correspondence and documents, or by College policy. Need-based awards are provided based on the income level, availability of awards offered elsewhere and similar standards. The College's Financial Aid Office uses various methods for the fair disbursement of grant funds within the requirements set by each grant source to monitor compliance. The College primarily makes scholarship grants that help offset tuition and other educational costs of the students, with most directly credited against the applicable student account, which assures proper use. The amount of the grant is adjusted by the Financial Aid Office, as necessary, based on any subsequent changes affecting the student's original eligibility.</Explanation>

For tax year 2012, the value of the President's use of the residence is conservatively estimated to be $56,400. During tax year 2012, the President, Stephen Alan Ray made the residence his home for the year.
