Additional Scholarship / Tuition Assistance Information
A scholarship fund may be available to families who may need assistance with part-day class 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 along with 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 and only apply to part-day class tuition not extended afternoons or bunch program. Early application is recommended.
