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.
