THIS EVALUATION IS BASED ON A REVIEW OF A COMPLETED WRITTEN SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION FORM, PERSONAL/BUSINESS TAX RETURNS, OTHER WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION OF INCOME AND MONTHLY EXPENSES. ALL FAMILIES MUST SUBMIT A MONTHLY BUDGET DETAILING INCOME AND EXPENSES IN A TYPICAL MONTH. THESE DOCUMENTS ARE ALL REVIEWED AS ONE PACKAGE FIRST BY AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY, PRIVATE SCHOOL AID SERVICE (PSAS) WHO REVIEWS AND ANALYZES THE INFORMATION AND PRESENTS AN AWARD RECOMMENDATION. THE APPLICATION IS THEN FURTHER REVIEWED BY AN INTERNAL SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE WHICH AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS BASED ON NUMEROUS FACTORS. THESE FACTORS INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO) INCOME, FAMILY SIZE, AND OTHER DAY SCHOOL TUITION OBLIGATIONS. ONCE THE FIRST ROUND OF SCHOLARSHIPS IS AWARDED, THERE IS AN APPEAL PROCESS WHEREBY A FAMILY MAY SUBMIT A REQUEST IN WRITING FOR A REEVALUATION OF THEIR APPLICATION. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE IN THE CASE WHERE A SUBSTANTIAL PIECE OF INFORMATION HAS CHANGED OR WAS OMITTED FROM THE ORIGINAL REQUEST. TORAH ACADEMY HAS THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED THE SCHOLARSHIP POLICIES AND ITS POLICIES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE ON FILE SHOULD ANYONE REQUEST IT. THIS WAS DONE SO THAT THE PARENTS, BOARD MEMBERS AND SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE ARE FULLY AWARE OF WHAT IS EXPECTED IN THE SCHOLARSHIP PROCESS.
