RETAINING YOUR QUALIFICATION FOR, OR RECEIPT OF SPONSORSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS
If you qualify for or are scheduled to receive any Sponsorship, Scholarship or Award within PokerPages FREE School, you must maintain your membership to maintain your qualification for that Sponsorship, Scholarship or Award until and through the date of the related event. This includes, for example, the event to which you are sponsored or given a scholarship.

Example #1: If you are a monthly paying member, and in December you qualify (say by being the top ranked weekly player) for a free roll for the sponsored seat to the WSOP being held the following year, then to maintain your qualification to that free roll you must continue to be a member through the year when the free roll is held. Likewise, if you are the top player in the free roll for the sponsored WSOP seat you'd need to continue your membership through that year when the WSOP is held to be eligible to represent PokerPages FREE School in a WSOP event.
Example #2: Say you are an annual member who was awarded 2 free months membership for referring new members to the school. If you decide to terminate your membership during month 8 of your original 12 months of annual membership, the 2 free months that were awarded for referrals would have no cash-out value when your membership ends because you did not remain a member through the end of your annual membership after which the free months would have been added.
So if after qualifying for or being scheduled to receive any Sponsorship, Scholarship or Award, you choose to terminate your membership in PokerPages FREE School, then in addition to your membership into PokerPages FREE School being terminated, you would forfeit any Sponsorship, Scholarship or Award that you qualified for or were scheduled to receive.
