Spring 2020: Room & Board Reimbursement Form

Due to the need for students to be off campus as a result of COVID-19, families may request reimbursement for room and board. We are offering reimbursement in the amount of $2,500 for families of boarding students and $750 for families of day students. For families receiving financial aid, these amounts will be prorated proportionally. 

During this challenging period, across the nation there has been a sharp rise in unemployment. To help ensure that employees do not face a financial crisis, the School has made a commitment to maintain regularly scheduled wages for all full-time employees of Hotchkiss through the end of the fiscal year. 

In consideration of this, we are asking families to consider forgoing reimbursement for room and board. You also have the option of converting your reimbursement amount into a tax-deductible gift to the School. Either of these decisions will be deeply appreciated. 

If you take no action, we will retain the relevant funds in the School’s operating budget, to be used for ongoing day to day operations. If you would like to transition your reimbursement amount into a gift to the School, please complete the form below. You may also use this form to request a refund in the form of a check. 

The deadline to make a tax-deductible donation or request a reimbursement is June 1.
