They may not give The Scholarship From Hell to anyone who has won another HWA-funded scholarship in the past twelve months from the date the scholarship will be awarded.

    11. The Scholarship From Hell will be made available annually but the HWA Board has the right to suspend the scholarship program in any given year for the sole reason of limited finances, or to abolish the scholarship altogether.
