The winner is responsible for any taxes. Tuition and required-expense use by a degree-seeking student is generally excludable under IRC §117; other uses may be taxable. The Sponsor gives no tax advice. The award amount is below the Form 1099-MISC reporting threshold.

12 — General
The Sponsor may modify, suspend, or cancel the scholarship for fraud, technical failure, or legal requirement, and may disqualify entrants who tamper with the entry process. Notice of cancellation will be posted on the scholarship page. The Sponsor’s decisions are final. Pennsylvania law governs. Void where prohibited.
