Parent Statement Explaining Financial Need and Requested Amount ($250 up to 75% of tuition, typical awards are $500-$800). If you did not earn back your work deposit, or did not participate in fundraisers, please explain why you did not and if you expect to in the upcoming season. Also, scholarship recipient families are expected to volunteer more than the minimum, especially towards team based fundraising (which supports scholarships) and should explain, as part of the parent statement, your planned volunteering for the upcoming season.
