Description

By contributing to this fund, you will allow SCP to reinstitute a scholarship fund, serving those who face hardship or financial difficulties.  In the past, we have offered scholarships for families unable to meet tuition costs.  We hope to re-institute our scholarship fund, consistent with our bylaws, as we have seen the need increase, although costs have risen.

Special Instructions

SCP wishes to support families who would otherwise not be able to send their child to preschool.  Typically, these families have one or even two working parents who earn low wages and/or have large families, and who consistently struggle to meet their expenses.  We also wish to support families who have unusual or catastrophic circumstances such as a death in the family or a serious illness.  We know from past experience that scholarship parents are often trying to break the cycle of poverty that they themselves have faced throughout their lives.
