The organization's board approves amounts awarded from the award fund endowment on an annual basis, with the understanding that endowment spending should approximate 5% of the beginning of the year endowment value. true ACADEMIC AWARDS 26 22750 0 N/A N/A Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. The organization gives awards that do not have a required purpose or use. These awards can be used at the discretion of the recipient, although it is encouraged that the money be used for educational purposes for students pursuing study in the field of history. Because the awards do not have a required purpose or use, once the funds are awarded the organization does not monitor the use of the funds.
