4.  Applicants must be residents of Missouri.

5.  Grants will be provided only in sports competed in at the USABA National or International Paralympic Games.

8.  In deciding whether to award grants, USABA-MO will show a preference for those individuals who show the ability or potential to compete at "elite levels" as identified by United States Paralympics or the United States Association for Blind Athletes.  Opinions of past and present coaches will be considered, as well as published standards by the above organizations.

9.  USABA-MO will notify the applicant of approval or disapproval of grant awards within 4 weeks of receiving  an application.
