FINANCIAL SATEMENT

To best assess your level of need, please select the option that best describes your family’s financial situation:

I have HIGH need (my family qualifies for free/reduced lunch, we are dealing with a major life event [like loss of income, death, or illness], etc.), and this opportunity is not possible without support from RMF.

I have MODERATE need (my family may not qualify for free/reduced lunch, but we have lower than average income or higher than average expenses), and I most likely will not be able to take lessons/purchase an instrument/attend camp without some level of support from RMF.

I have LOW need (my family has limited disposable income for activities like music, sports, etc. This may be because of the number of activities I participate in, or the number of siblings I have and their activities), and without support from RMF, my musical opportunities will be limited.

I have NO overriding need (my family is able to support my musical activities), but any support from RMF would be appreciated. Your application will be reviewed between May 15 and June 15 and considered if RMF has extra scholarship funds available.

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our committee so that we understand your family’s financial situation?
