My application and privacy *

By checking here, I assert my understanding that reasonable steps will be taken to ensure the privacy of the information on my application. I also accept that my application will be processed and overseen by various TMF employees, TMF officers and members of the TMF board and awards committee.

My repayment responsibility *

By checking here, I accept my obligation to repay my entire interest-free tuition award in order to help future TMF recipients. I understand that I am not expected to do so in one lump sum, but that I must make RELIABLE, MONTHLY repayments. I understand that I will not be asked to begin repayments until several months after I have graduated or discontinued my education. I agree that if the total I owe is more than $5,000, my monthly repayments must be a minimum of between one-half of one percent and one percent (0.5% to 1.0%). If I owe $5,000 or less, my monthly repayments must be a minimum of $40/month or one percent (1.0%), whichever is higher.

My email and voicemail *

By checking here, I assert my agreement to check my email every day for information from TMF. I agree to set up my email so that the email addresses of TuitionMissionCSV@gmail.com and TuitionMissionMLW@gmail.com will land in my in-box and not in spam or trash. I will ensure that my cell phone voicemail box is correctly set up, and that my voicemail box is not full so that TMF may leave messages if necessary. I accept that until my tuition award is repaid in full, I have an obligation to alert TMF in a timely manner if there are changes to my cell phone number and/or my email address. I understand my obligation to respond to ALL TMF communications in a prompt manner (within 48 hours). I accept that not doing so may result in my TMF tuition award being rescinded.

My communications with TMF *

By checking here, I assert my understanding that TMF will deal directly with me, not with a parent, guardian, etc. This helps to maintain clear, effective lines of communication without the chance for anything to get lost in translation. It also ensures my privacy. I accept the fact that EVERYONE is busy, and I agree to make time to contact TMF myself if I have a question or concern.

My final application "double-check" *

By checking here, I assert my understanding that if I submit an application which is in any way incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete, TMF will delete my application. TMF will then give me the opportunity to submit a new application within the regular open application time period (February 15th through April 15th each year).
