Please complete this application (one for each child) and return it with the completed PYM application to Dona Garrettson, clerk of CHFM's Tuition Assistance Committee, no later than January 30, 2006.

Tuition assistance funds are generally divided proportionally
among the pool of children applying, based on the
total tuition costs for all applicants and the total
amount of CHFM funds available. Family financial
situations vary greatly, and the committee asks that
parents consider whether there is a fixed amount
that is needed to make Friends School tuition possible
for their child. (If you designate a specific amount,
the committee will award no more than this amount
for your child, based on available funds.)
Please check one:
( Our family needs no more than $ ___________ in
tuition assistance from CHFM.
OR
( Our family would like to apply for whatever aid
is possible from CHFM, based on a proportion of tuition
and CHFM funds available.
