For scholarships, prior to any disbursement, recipients must submit a request form detailing their intended use of funds, which is reviewed to verify alignment with eligible educational and professional development expenses. Within 30 days of receiving any disbursement, recipients must provide receipts or other documentation showing the scholarship funds were expended as described in the original request. All documentation is closely reviewed, and recipients must provide an explanation if funds were not used exactly as specified. To ensure timely oversight, recipients are required to request extensions if they cannot meet the 30-day documentation deadline. If proper documentation is still not provided, recipients may be required to return disbursed funds. Ongoing monitoring aims to guarantee that all awarded funds serve their intended purpose of empowering recipients educationally and professionally. For grants to foreign organizations, the organization executes written grant agreements to maintain expenditure responsibility. These agreements require grantees to submit periodic narrative and financial reports detailing use of grant funds. Grantees must also maintain accounting records related to the grant for at least 3 years and cooperate with any audits. The organization closely reviews these reports and records to monitor progress and ensure grant funds are used solely for agreed charitable purposes. Ongoing monitoring for both scholarships and grants aims to ensure awarded funds serve their intended charitable, educational, or scientific purpose. If inaccurate information is discovered, awards may be fully or partially rescinded. These procedures enable the organization to uphold accountability across all grant distributions. true 0 0 scholarships to U.S. recipients 160 4472000 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The organization implements robust monitoring procedures to ensure scholarship funds are used appropriately by recipients in accordance with the program's terms and conditions.
