Dear TRYPO families,
We know this is a hard time for many of our neighbors. Our promise for years has been that we don't ever want finances to be the reason a student doesn't participate. Now is no different.
SIMPLIFIED FORM - ASK FOR WHAT YOU NEED: You will see that we have significantly simplified this form, and are not requiring documentation because we trust you and we hope that you trust us too. Please look at the programming that your child is interested in, and tell us what you need in order to make it happen and we'll do everything we can to award your requested amount.
FINANCES IN CRISIS: If your family finances are in crisis, we will try to do more for you. Please see the specific question below.
"WHY DID YOU ASK ME THAT QUESTION?": We are not trying to be nosy. Some of your answers to questions in this scholarship form are critical to help us raise funds to cover scholarship awards. No personal details will be shared, but quotes from your answers will help funders see that real individuals and real need is behind the funding request.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? After the deadline, we will compile all the scholarship requests and registrations. It is our intent to award what you request, if we can. We will send a scholarship award verification e-mail which will confirm your award percentage and balance due, and confirm payment options.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD WANTS TO ADD PROGRAMMING AFTER I HAVE ALREADY FILLED THIS FORM OUT? No problem. The percentage you applied for will be applied to subsequent programming.
WHEN IS THIS FORM DUE?
- Large Ensemble Members: Please submit this form upon acceptance into the TRYPO program.
- YC2 and TRYPOsphere new registrants: Please submit this form within a day or two of your registration form.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY HOUSEHOLD FINANCES CHANGE AFTER I FILL THIS OUT? Please know that if things in your household change during the year (for better or worse!) please be in touch! We can revise your account at any time. And we hope that when things turn around for you in the future, you will consider paying it forward with a donation to the scholarship fund to help another family.
ARE THERE ANY REQUIREMENTS TO RECEIVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE? Like all students, scholarship students must adhere to program requirements like attendance, preparation, and deportment. Scholarship assistance can be renewed for students continuing in the organization. Scholarship students and/or families are also asked to help TRYPO write thank you letters to those who underwrite the scholarship program.
Please know that we love our TRYPO families and we will get through this together! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a time to talk directly with me, please email me directly at lindsey@trypo.org
Thanks,
Lindsey Nova
Executive Director
