1) The Uvalde Foundation For Kids 'Crimes Against Students,' reward program is only applicable & extended to crimes committed against students on individual/district campuses and/or property or special circumstances approved by the foundation.
2) The tip must lead to the arrest, filing of charges and conviction of a felony crime committed against a student or school community within the United States or to the arrest of a fugitive wanted on a felony warrant related to same.
3) Rewards of up to $1000 are paid for information leading to the arrest, filing & a conviction of charges as well as in the conviction of a suspect & final board determination. The special elected Board of the Uvalde Foundation For Kids determines the actual amount of the reward for each incident which may be higher or lower dependent on funds availability & curcumstance.

In the event more than one person provides information on the same crime, incident, or fugitive, the Uvalde Foundation For Kids coordinator and the review Board will make the determination as to which individual is entitled to the foundation reward, based on who provided the information first and/or based on the relative importance of the informants’ information. In special circumstances, the foundation has the discretion to add elements and individuals to receive certain rewards. The foundation relies heavily on accuracy of information provided by investigating law enforcement.

8) Except in special circumstances, The Uvalde Foundation For Kids will be under no obligation to pay any reward if it is shown that the identity and/or location of the suspect(s) was known to the public, the news media or law enforcement prior to the receipt of the information to the Uvalde Foundation For Kids.
