• Personal check written to GCM from parent with same last name as the participant (GCM will credit the check to the participant’s record, not the parent’s)
• Check from the participant’s church clearly stating whom payment is for.  If payment is for multiple people there must be a note included with the check that states each participant’s name and the amount to credit each participant.
  

Participant Payment Amounts

Participants may choose to pay the pre-determined amount for each collection date or they may pay more.

It is the responsibility of the summer program’s leadership (not GCM) to work with the participants who can not pay their program fees on time.  This Payment Appeal Form can be used to help with participants who are requesting an extension for when their program fees are due.  This is for the summer program collections administrator to use and keep and not to be sent back to GCM.  We suggest assigning a staff member to the participant to help give guidance and accountability to students needing financial help. 

All money collected onsite should be documented on the Ledger Sheet.

Over payments/ Unpaid fees

Participants may choose to pay the pre-determined amount for each collection date or they may pay more than is required for that collection date.

It is the responsibility of the summer program’s leadership (not GCM) to work with the participants who can not pay their program fees on time.  This Payment Appeal Form can be used to help with participants who are requesting an extension for when their program fees are due.  This is for the summer program collections administrator to use and keep and not to be sent back to GCM.  It is the responsibility of the program’s leadership to work with the students who have not paid their program fees.  You may find this form to be helpful to use...  We suggest assigning a staff member to the participant to help give guidance and accountability to students needing financial help. 

One student’s already made overpayments to the program will not be switched to another student’s underpaid registration.  Students who have over paid can either have the over payments refunded by calling GCM directly or they can donate that over payment to the summer program’s general fund with the approval of that student. Students that wish to donate their overpayments to the programs general fund need to let the Summer Programs Coordinator know so that this can be adjusted in the system.  If the payment is left as a credit to the student, GCM may refund the student at their request. 

• The only exceptions is if a church sends in payments to help the students in their church, payment amounts may be switched from an overpaid student to an underpaid one. The church needs to provide written confirmation that this is acceptable to them. 
  

If a student wants to contribute to another students fees they will need to write a check to the other student directly and that student will need to write a new check from their own account.   Or they can anonymously donate cash to the underpaid student who will then have to go get a money order with the cash or deposit it and write a check from their own account.  We cannot accept any form of payment from anyone other than the participant with the outstanding fee or their parent with the same name or their church.
