2022 HBCU Tour Online Parent Permission & Liability Packet

    ​Permission Form

    Dear Parent(s) and/or Guardian(s),
     ​
    On March 28 - April 1, 2022, students on the 11th Annual HBCU Tour will travel to various historic colleges, universities, and sites in the states of Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and states in route to destinations and home. This tour will technically mark the 11th annual college tour vacation and other exciting events available to your student based upon your student's conduct.

    Due to our financial obligations , THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ABSENCES. If you have any questions please contact the 2022 College Tour Committee Project Manager, Simone Trice, or Blake E. Odum, Executive Director of The Motivational Foundation. Your child will not be able to attend this trip without consent and permission through this online form. School rules regarding conduct and behavior are in effect during the duration of the entire trip. Any student who violates enforced school rules and Trip Guidelines will be eliminated from future outings (please consult your district’s rule book for further details).
     
    I give permission for my student to attend the 11th Annual HBCU Tour with The Motivational Foundation on March 28 - April 1, 2022. I understand that I am responsible for understanding all trip guidelines, meeting all payment deadlines, and will not be refunded if my student is unable to attend the trip. I understand that the trip is a learning experience and ANY inappropriate behavior from my student, as deemed unacceptable by The Motivational Foundation's volunteers, staff, and chaperones for this trip, could result in my child’s immediate dismissal and suspension from the duration of the trip     at my expense.


    LIABILITY FORM

    I understand that the Motivational Foundation is not responsible for any of the following including, but not limited to: student sexual misconduct, injury, illness, or fatality.  I understand that if my students tests positive for COVID, my student will not be eligible to attend this year's HBCU Tour.  I understand that if COVID test results are not uploaded to the online portal prior to departure, my student will not be eligible to board the bus and their seat will be forfeited at my expense.  I understand that all submitted payment is non-refundable and non-contestable at the submission of this form. 

    I also understand if my student conducts him/herself in a way in which legal action must be taken, that I am fully responsible for my student's actions. Any student that violates enforced code of conduct and trip guidelines will be eliminated from future outings, and may be returned home before the conclusion of the trip, at the parent's/guardian's expense. (Please consult your school district's Code of Conduct handbook for code of conduct compliance). 

    I understand that anything my child brings on this trip is at our own discretion, own security, and own responsibility. However, I further understand that The Motivational Foundation recommends that my child does not bring any items of large value. However, if my student chooses to do so, The Motivational Foundation WILL NOT assume responsibility for broken, stolen, and/or missing items.

    Photograph Consent: I give my student permission to be photographed on this trip and I also allow The Motivational Foundation access to those photos to promote this College Tour initiative with my child’s image on The Foundation’s website, affiliate sites, and other paraphernalia. I waive the right to sue The Motivational Foundation from that which is mentioned above, and I am in compliance with this liability contract.

    I understand I am responsible for reading and adhering to the following information. By signing this document with the last 4 digits of my social security number, and by uploading a copy of my (Parent/Guardian) State Issued Identification, I give my student permission to attend, and I (both parent & student) am in compliance with this binding agreement and waiver of liability.
