 DISTRIBUTION:  To be awarded to students upon the recommendation of the Scholarship Committee and the approval of the TCF Board of Directors.

VARIANCE POWER:  If, in the judgment of the TCF Board of Directors, the restrictions and conditions of the fund become unnecessary, incapable of fulfillment or inconsistent with the charitable needs of the community, the TCF Board of Directors maintains the right to modify the terms of this fund.

FUNDING:  Contributions from the Davis FOE Aerie #936.

BACKGROUND:  Davis FOE Aerie #936 was established January 31, 1905.  The Eagles not only welcome the average man as a member, but fought for his right to a life of dignity and respect.  The Eagles have fought for several acts that helped the common man, such as Workers’ Compensation Act, Mothers’ Pensions, Old Age Pensions and Social Security Laws.

For Eagles, more than anything else, is a dream – the dream that ordinary men and women everywhere are entitled to and shall enjoy the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
