    The Knights of Columbus provides Francis P. Matthews and John E. Swift
    Educational Trust Scholarships to:
    
    1.  Children of a member in good standing who, while serving in
        the military forces of his country in a combat zone,
        specifically designated as such by the Board of Directors, is
        killed by hostile action or wounded by hostile action
        resulting within two years thereof in permanent and total 
        disability.  An application must be filed within two years of 
        the death or determination of total and permanent disability 
        of the member.
    2.  Children of a member in good standing who, while in the lawful
        performance of his duties as a full-time law enforcement 
        officer or full-time firefighter, died as the result of 
        criminal violence directed at him.  An application must be 
        filed within two years of the date of the death of the member.

    The scholarship is for undergraduate studies leading to a bachelor's 
    degree at a Catholic college and includes net expenses for tuition up 
    to a maximum of $25,000 per year, less the amount from any other grant 
    or scholarship.

    A candidate for benefits is required to submit supporting documents
    to establish eligibility.  The Knights of Columbus membership record
    is verified at the Supreme Council office.
