SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Financial assistance is available based upon documented financial need. Assistance will be provided on a fair and open basis and without regard to race, religion, color, gender, age, national origin, marital status, the presence of a disability, veteran status, or any other classification protected by applicable local, state or federal law.
Youth, family, medical and first time requests are priorities.
