any such property shall be received and accepted if it is conditioned or limited in such manner as

in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), for their continuing education. In order for a
Catholic student to be eligible for the scholarship they must have completed communion and

Sixth: This Declaration of Trust may be amended at any time or times by written instrument or
instruments signed and sealed by the trustee, provided that no amendment shall authorize the
trustee to conduct the affairs of this trust in any manner or for any purpose contrary to the
provisions of Section Two. An amendment of the provisions of this Article Fourth (or any
amendment to it) shall be valid only if and to the extent that such amendment further restricts the

On such termination, assets shall be distributed to the Catholic Church of Saint Mary or for
another religious purpose.
Ninth: Any trustee under this Declaration of Trust may, by written instrument, signed and
acknowledged, resign his office. At all times there must be a trustee in charge of the scholarship

in furtherance of the educational purposes of this trust as specified in Section Two and not
otherwise.
