<VV> Scholarship Applications

[Mark Corbin]

Note that my own lodge asks for financial information on our local
scholarships amd think nothing of it. We give out 5 $1000 scholarships
every year. All we ask are questions like the family's combined gross
yearly income level, how many college-bound or college student siblings,
and what and how many other scholarships are expected. Nothing aboutW-2's,
tax returns, etc.
