                           The Lisa Inman Scholarship Fund

The financial aid fund at Five Acre School was originally created with a
donation by the Tom and Claire O'Neil Foundation.  In subsequent years the
fund has received regular contributions from the Five Acre PSO and personal
donations from individuals.  In 2005 it was named the Lisa Inman Scholarship
Fund in memory of a beloved Five Acre School teacher who was also a major
supporter of the fund. Again this year the Lisa Inman Scholarship Fund will
lend a helping hand to several families sending children to Five Acre School.

                               Financial Aid Administration

Scholarships will be awarded based on financial information that is
processed by the  School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS) of
Princeton, New Jersey. The application process is administered by the Five
Acre School PSO Financial Aid Officer. The final determination of awards is
made by a committee of three volunteers who have no children attending Five
Acre School and no other connection with the school. Priority in receiving aid
is given to 1) students who will attend three or more full days per week, and/or
2) families with two or more children attending Five Acre School.

                               Financial Aid Determination

Financial aid eligibility is determined by an independent national
service, the School and Student Service (SSS), a division of the
Educational Testing Service. SSS provides financial aid service to over 1300
private schools and universities throughout the United States. Using a Personal
Financial Statement submitted by each applying family, SSS calculates need
based upon gross income, assets, and expenses. The Five Acre School PSO
Financial Aid Committee then uses SSS's need figures to allocate awards from
the Financial Aid Fund. No one can be guaranteed to receive an award, nor
can anyone expect a "full ride". The amount awarded to any individual family
will depend on the results of their financial need analysis in combination with
needs of the other applicants.
