Although open to any qualifying family, the target population of sliding scale tuition relief falls between the gap of state assistance and financial self-sufficiency. During the fiscal year, 6 students utilized weekly tuition subsidies and an additional 4 students benefitted from receiving short term financial assistance. The sliding scale tuition relief program is funded primarily through community donations and grant awards. All restricted funds are used for tuition subsidies and therefore have a tangible, positive impact on each participating family. Children receive a wonderful, nurturing environment for their early education and care needs, while parents obtain the opportunity to seek and maintain gainful employment. Supporting the sliding scale tuition relief program directly assists families in their desire to achieve financial stability.”
