- Awards would be made on a first-come, first-served basis each quarter. However, selections would be at the discretion of the Membership committee.
Additionally:
- Credit would be for amounts up to $45 (cost of a full year student membership; other costs pro-rated depending upon when someone joins). The amount would be dependent upon the total funds available from the ChIPs program and the number of applicants.
