ExplanationSchedule I, Part I, Line 2: When B.E.S.T provides grants for Endowed Scholars, Gap Funding, Emergency Funding, Annual Fund gifts and School Head Discretionary Fund they send a check and a letter to each of the schools. The letter states the intended use of the money being sent to the school. The Endowed Scholar grant letters will state the amount of the grant and the fact that the funds are to be used to pay 75% of tuition for the Endowed Scholar chosen by the school. B.E.S.T will have recieved the name of the Endowed Scholar from the school previously, so the student's name is included in the grant letter. The Annual Fund gift letters only state the amount of the grant awarded to each school and that it is to be directed toward the school's financial aid budget. The School Head Discretionary Fund Gifts is a restricted gift to be used as a School Head's fund to support B.E.S.T. students on each school's campus. Each year the school must submit a detailed report to B.E.S.T. on how the funds were used. Gap and Emergency Gifts state the amount and the student's name for who the gift is intended for. Copies of the checks and the grant letters sent to the school are maintained in files in B.E.S.T.'s finance department.Explanation
