    Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
    Guidelines
      1. TAP funds are awarded to students/families who demonstate financial
         need and who are committed to the mission of Hanalani Schools.

      2. To ensure an objective assessment process, Hanalani Schools partners
         with School and Student Services (SSS). Families submit their information
         directly to SSS.

      3. Financial need is determined by a family's annual income and/or family
         hardship, i.e., job loss, major illness, etc.

                             www.hanalani.org
                              www.hanalani.org
4.   Parents' contributions: Hanalani Schools believes that both parents must be
     responsible for a child's education; therefore, a family's need is determined
     by the income statements of both parents, including tax documents.

5.   If step-parents are involved, the SSS & the TAP Committee consider all
     partners' assets and liabilities in determining the level of family need. Non-
     custodial parents must also submit a TAP application or a third-party verifica-
     tion letter.

6.   If multiple children attend tuition-charging schools or colleges, families are
     expected to apply for tuition assistance at all schools.

7.   Temporary unemployment: Families must provide periodic updates regard-
     ing new employment and/or demonstrate continued job search.

8.   Families must apply for TAP annually.

9.   Parents of TAP recipients must complete four hours of service to Hanalani         5
     Schools per quarter for each child receiving TAP. High school students in
     Grades 9‒12 who are receiving TAP may be the ones to fulfill the service
     hours.

10. TAP funds are first awarded to students who are currently enrolled and then
    awarded to new families.

11. To allow Hanalani Schools to assist as many families as possible, families
    accepting scholarships from other sources may not receive TAP awards.

12. Hanalani Schools expects a family to make the necessary adjustments to
    their choices of expenditures and not rely solely on Hanalani to supplement
    tuition.

13. The priority deadline for TAP is January 31, 2021. Families applying for
    admission to Hanalani Schools after the deadline may apply for TAP. TAP
    awards following the deadline are on a funds-available basis.

14. Families receiving TAP awards are not eligible for any additional tuition
    discounts.

15. Child(ren) must be accepted for admission to Hanalani Schools in order for a
    TAP application to be reviewed.

Communicating TAP Decisions
    to Families
    SSS determines a family's need according to formulas and makes
    recommendations to the school regarding award amounts. Upon receiving
    the family profiles and recommendations, the TAP Committee reviews all
    family information, the PFS, and any statement of extenuating circumstances.
    The Committee awards TAP funds according to the TAP guidelines and funds
    available. The TAP Committee informs families of TAP decisions beginning mid-
    April.

         All recipients must respond in writing via the
         issued award contract to confirm acceptance
8                        of the award.
