    A general guideline is that scholarships are awarded to families who have an annual Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of less than $75,000 for a family of four. Special family circumstances can allow for a larger AGI. DNP Scholarships are awarded for tuition only.
    Applying for or receiving scholarship has no impact on class placement.

Families who meet eligibility requirements could receive a Minnesota Pathway 1 Early Learning Scholarship of up to $8,500 per year for tuition. All families applying for a Dodge Nature Preschool scholarship should also apply for a Pathway I Early Learning Scholarship.
  • A copy of your 2021 (or most recent) 1040 Tax Form (indicating adjusted gross income) is required. Please black out your social security numbers.

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.
