The Trustees will make a determination as to the qualification in those cases that are uncertain. Information as to philosophy, commitment to the Black/African-American race and self-identity may also be considered in such areas.

The above criteria are conditions that must be met in addition to the specific requirements of the scholarship you are applying for.
