[Communications] CCGA conference scholarships follow up

[Amy Olson]

Hi Mamie,

Yes, that was my understanding as well. I think it’s better to go with the $500 for reference.
What if a student wants a scholarship? That fee is only $15.

Also, JW informed all of the 2020 prepaid registrants that if they could not attend, they could request a refund or donate their payment to a 2021 attendee in need. So, I feel we need to honor that and add these donations to the total available.

With Ken Williams' donation, the total for scholarships is $550.

BTW Amy, I must have misunderstood the final understanding on “scholarship tickets” (free tickets), which was no need for funding for tickets since they can be processed as free; leaving prepaid registration fees in the general CCGA budget, and requesting sponsors to cover expenses other than scholarships.  In other words, Sponsor X, in the past, has donated $250 for scholarships and $250 for T-Shirts, can now donate $500 for T-Shirts or whatever. Am I wrong? Mamie
