Additional Scholarship / Tuition Assistance Information

A scholarship fund may be available to families who may need assistance with tuition. This may be ongoing support or temporary help due to a change in circumstances for a family. If you would like to apply for a school year scholarship, please complete the scholarship application found in the School Year enrollment application.

A new request for a scholarship will need to be made for each school year or summer program. Scholarship awards are granted to families who qualify until scholarship funds are no longer available. Funds are limited. Early application is recommended.
