a) participating in the annual Foundation Gathering while receiving my scholarship,
b) supporting my fellow Foundation Scholars’ academic and career goals during my lifetime, and
c) paying for the tuition for a comparable education of two persons, who are not related to me by blood, adoption, or marriage, during my lifetime
