2005
BIM Scholarship Program
Program Description
THE PROGRAM
The program will be called the BIM Scholarship Program.
The purpose of the Program is to memorialize Ben Moyle by providing an annual scholarship
available to his former employees and to their children and descendants and, for a limited time, to
members of his profession.
The sponsor will be the BI Moyle Scholarship Fund.
ELIGIBILITIES
Applicants must be high school seniors or graduates who plan to enroll or students who are
already enrolled in a full-time or part-time (6 credits or more) undergraduate or graduate course of
study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school.
Applicants must meet the criteria stated in one of the priority groups listed below.
Recipients will be chosen from the following groups of people, according to the following
priorities:
First priority group: Full-time employees of BI Moyle Associates, Inc. of Edina, Minnesota
on July 26, 2001, who otherwise qualify. Any beneficiaries named in Ben Moyle’s will are
excluded from this group.
Second priority group: If no persons from the first priority group apply in any year, then the
award will be given to any children or other direct or adopted descendents, who otherwise
qualify, of all employees described above. Any beneficiaries named in Ben Moyle's will are
excluded from this group, but their children and descendents are not excluded if such
children or descendants are not named in the will.
If in any year prior to the year 2015 there is no qualified applicant from the above two groups,
then a candidate may be selected from the following described group:
Third priority group: All persons who were employed on July 26, 2001 by companies who
were licensed users of BI Moyle Associates Inc. products on July 26,2001 and worked as a
VSE programmer. VSE in this context means the "Disk Operating System Virtual Storage
Enhanced" programming language for IBM mainframe computers. This third priority group
will have no consideration in 2015 and subsequent years.
AWARDS
The program will utilize standard Scholarship America recipient selection procedures including the
consideration of past academic performance and future potential, leadership and participation in
school and community activities, work experience, statement of career and educational
aspirations and goals, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an outside appraisal. These
standards will be used to set minimum requirements for purposes of determining eligibility, and
will be used within each priority group to select the most qualified applicant.
Financial need is not a requirement for qualification of a recipient but may be used as criteria in
choosing between equal candidates within the same priority groups.
The authorized distribution for one new award each year is up to the full amount of earnings in
the fund (less administration fees and an appropriate adjustment for inflation.) Amount will vary
from year to year based on earnings and will be rounded to the nearest $25. For 2005 only,
funds from the principal of the Fund may be used to provide a distribution equal to the amount
that, in the judgment of Scholarship America based on the performance of similar funds, would
have been earned (less fees and adjustments) if the Fund had been in existence for a full fiscal
year.
In years when no candidate applies who meets the eligibility criteria or when earnings in the
fund are insufficient to provide an award (less than $2,000) the earnings for that year will remain
in the fund.
Full-time students will always be given preference in the selection process, within each priority
group. If a part-time student is the selected recipient, the award must be proportionate to the
ratio between the credits taken and a normal full-time credit load. If a part-time student recipient
is chosen, then a second award of the remaining amount may be awarded that year at the
discretion of the administrator and as best suits the purpose of the fund, in the administrator’s
judgment.
Awards are not renewable; however, students may reapply to the program each year they meet
eligibility requirements. Past recipients will not be given preference over new candidates.
Awards may be used for undergraduate or graduate study.

association, and employees of companies who are licensed users of BI Moyle Associates Inc.
products as outlined in the attached BIM Scholarship Program description and terms of
management.
Agreement: The Donors' Representative, Mike Moyle, (hereafter identified as "Donor") hereby agrees to
transfer to Scholarship America, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the sum of $146,000 for the
purpose of establishing the BI Moyle Scholarship Fund (hereafter identified as "Fund") in
accordance with the terms and conditions herein contained.
1. Scholarship America shall establish the assets of the Fund as an identifiable endowed fund within the
accounting records of Scholarship America.

accordance with policies established by Scholarship America's Governing Board.
3. Additional contributions may be made to Scholarship America to increase the Fund.
4. Scholarship America shall manage the Fund and distribute the annual income of the Fund to provide
scholarships substantially in accordance with the Program description and terms of management.

income, contributions, distributions, and asset balance of the Fund.
6. As compensation for its services hereunder, Scholarship America shall be entitled to receive from the
earnings of the Fund for its own account (a) an annual investment administration fee of 0.5% of the
principal of the Fund, and (b) the annual management fee for the program consistent with Scholarship
America's standard management fee. The Donor at his sole discretion, may elect to pay such fees directly
to Scholarship America for any year.
7. The Donors' Representative reserves the right to suggest changes that modify or amend the scope,
terms, or conditions of the Program hereby administered by Scholarship America. The Program will be
reviewed annually. Specific program changes may be suggested by Scholarship America. After a
period of five (5) years, Scholarship America may review and revise individual scholarship award
amounts to reflect and keep pace with changes in school costs and review and revise management fees
to reflect current fees for services. The Donors' Representative shall consult with Scholarship America
regarding any of such changes or amendments and shall give reasonable notice sufficient to allow
Scholarship America to change its policies and procedures in the administration of the Program.
Suggested changes and amendments put forth by the Donors' Representative will ordinarily be honored

IRS requirements, and Scholarship America policies. If requested by the Donors' Representative,
Scholarship America will provide a written response to the Donors' Representative as to why a proposed
change or amendment was not accepted.
8. In the event the Program and stated purpose of the contribution cease to exist, or in the event Scholarship
America ceases operations or otherwise determines that it is unwilling to continue management of the
program, all funds will be transferred to another scholarship management organization or the University of
Minnesota, provided such organization is recognized as exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code at
such time, or to some other similar program of an appropriate nonprofit entity exempt from tax as an
organization described in Section 501(c)(3), as determined by Scholarship America. Although the
decision is the sole discretion of Scholarship America, the Donors' Representative has the right to suggest
recipients of the funds. Such suggestions will be honored provided they are consistent with the stated
purposes of the Program, IRS requirements, and Scholarship America policies.
9. In no event shall any moneys of the Fund be returned to the Donor or any donor.
10. The Program is intended to award scholarships as a result of a true competition for such grants. As such,
the Program will operate within the spirit of Rev. Proc. 76-47, 1976-2 C.B. 670.
11. Scholarship America and the Donor agree that any funds received by Scholarship America from the
Donors are the exclusive property of Scholarship America.
12. The investment and management of the assets of the Fund will not violate any of the provisions of
Scholarship America's governing instruments or any contract or other agreement with any third party.
13. Scholarship America shall cause to be furnished to the Donors' Representative periodic management and
financial reports concerning the management of the Program and investment of all funds subject to such
Fund. Scholarship America shall provide such reports on a periodic basis consistent with reporting with
regard to its other scholarship programs managed for third parties, except that, upon written request of the

as may be requested by the Donors' Representative at the Donors' Representative's expense.
Scholarship America will make available its books and records with regard to the management of the BI
