Conditions of the Scholarship
Each scholarship is funded by the Orrstown Bank Foundation. The Foundation pays the value of an
awarded scholarship directly to the scholarship recipient’s account at the designated post-secondary
institution. The student shall not receive any direct cash benefit from the scholarship. It will be a
condition of the award for the recipient to provide his or her social security number in order to facilitate
payment to the institution.
The recipient must have been accepted to, agreed to attend, and have enrolled in the institution on a
full-time basis prior to the release of any funds. Once enrolled, the recipient must remain in good
academic standing at the designated institution and satisfy the institution’s conduct requirements.
When any student is selected as a recipient of an Orrstown Bank Foundation Scholarship, the student
and/or his or her legal guardian agrees that the appropriate institution may provide to the Foundation

personal information concerning that recipient and whether or not the recipient has continued to
remain enrolled at the institution in good standing during the 2016-2017 academic year, in accordance
with the terms of the scholarship. The recipient’s acceptance of the scholarship shall serve as his or her
agreement to the Foundation’s request for this confirmation from the institution.
Scholarship funds for a student who withdraws or is removed from the school, or who becomes
ineligible for the scholarship prior to the end of the school year must be refunded to the Orrstown Bank
Foundation within 30 days following the date of withdrawal, removal or determination of ineligibility of
the student. The scholarship reimbursement shall be pro-rated based on the amount of time remaining
for the school term.

Services, Inc., Orrstown Bank, Orrstown Bank Foundation, or any affiliates or subsidiaries of any of these
