Financial Commitment Everyone should be fully aware of where they stand relative to their financial commitment to the band. If you still have an outstanding balance to the band, this should be taken care of immediately. If you do not know your status, please request a statement thru the “Statement Request” link on the website. If you plan on getting the fundraising credits of $250 to get your $150 bonus, then your balance should be no more than $400 as of today’s date. If you plan on working the minimum to qualify for lettering, then your balance should be paid down to $0 immediately. We need all financial commitments made so that we can have fund available for the upcoming BOA trip in just over a month. It was recognized that the “Scholarship” forms were excluded from the band packets originally sent out. The goal is to make the band program affordable to all and we have financial assistance is available to help out a limited number of participants based on the current scholarship balance. The scholarships provided as the last part of the balance to anyone who is also working fundraising credits. Please see the details in the Financial Aid document. The document defines the time to turn in this form by August 15th. Obviously this is no longer valid. Please submit any Financial Aid requests in the Blue Band Box no later than September 20th. |
