- End of year 2: $1,500
- End of year 3: $2,000

The annual scholarship will remain at $5,000 until the fund is depleted. If the account balance is less than $5,000 at the end of any year (i.e., after the awarding of the $5,000 for that year), that remaining amount immediately will be awarded as a smaller scholarship, and the account will be closed.
