Tuition Grant Information & Instructions

The Parenting Education Grant Fund exists due to the efforts of the Parenting Education Advisory Committee, who raises the funds with an annual auction, and from contributions from individuals and organizations in the community. Selection is based on need and funds available. All information is confidential. Application will be reviewed for eligibility by the Parenting Education Department Chair.

Grants are available at three levels:

Partial Tuition Grant. The student pays ½ of the tuition and the lab fee. This payment should be attached to the application form. This is the most commonly awarded grant.
Full Tuition Grant. This is available for families who are unable to pay tuition. Students are asked to pay the lab fee. If this is a hardship, please note that on the application.
Foreign Student Grant. This grant pays the difference between in-state tuition and foreign or out of state tuition. Students applying for this grant should attach a check for tuition at the in-state rate plus the lab fee.
