• You must have at least $30.00 weekly income. No more than $15.00 can be allowance. You must show jobs that you can do and would be willing to do every week.

• You must save at least $5.00 of your weekly income in a college savings plan.

• You must share/donate some of your income with others.

• You must spend some of your money. Your spending must be reasonable for someone your age.

• Your expenses may not exceed your income.
