Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 CASH GRANTS: The Museum's cash awards fall into four categories. A) Subawards under grants - These are monies passed through to institutions who have applied for government and private grants jointly with the Museum. The Museum monitors the subawardees' use of funds in accordance with the regulations governing such grants and the adequacy of this monitoring is audited annually under the provisions of OMB Circular A-133. B) Prizes and awards - The Museum administers two annual awards for the recognition of scientific publication and communication. As these awards are honoraria, monitoring of their use is not applicable. C) Stipends - These are payments to participants in professional development workshops offered by the Museum, or in pilot testing of Museum products and programs. As these payments are simple flat stipends based on number of workshop days, or on pilot test milestones, monitoring of their use is not applicable. D) Computer Clubhouse Network support - The Museum makes payments both to and on behalf of member sites in the Computer Clubhouse Network, of which the Museum is the flagship site. The Museum's primary role is to advise and to coordinate communication and cooperation between sites, but each site is an independent entity. The Museum occasionally provides pass-through funding from outside funders to help establish and upgrade Clubhouse sites, and also provides travel support for representatives from sites to attend the network's Annual Meeting and the biennial Teen Summit. The Museum also passes through Intel funding for "Clubhouse to College" scholarships. Scholarships are awarded through an application process which includes review by staff of the Clubhouse Network, a representative from MIT, a representative from Intel, Museum staff people not directly associated with the Clubhouse program and has also included mentors and staff from around the Network. For travel stipends and other support of Clubhouse sites, the Museum requires both narrative and financial reporting to ensure funds are used appropriately. For scholarships paid on behalf of individual students from Clubhouse sites, checks are issued directly to the college being attended, rather than to the student, to ensure the use of the funds is for the purpose intended. NON-CASH GRANTS: The Museum also provides substantial non-cash "scholarships" for reduced-fee or no-fee participation in Museum programs for which a fee is usually charged. For these transactions, no funds are disbursed to the grantee; they are simply charged less, or not at all, for the program attended. Eligibility is determined in a number of ways, depending on the nature of the grantee. Schools are evaluated based on location in under-served neighborhoods or by percentage of free/reduced lunch program students. Community groups are evaluated on the basis of charitable status. Individual grantees are evaluated on the basis of income or residence in under-served areas. As the operation of these non-cash awards is entirely internal to the Museum, monitoring the use of the funds is also entirely internal and accomplished through the Museum's own accounting system.
