Welcome to the Catalyst Kids Scholarship Program '23-'24!

Our scholarships are intended to provide financial assistance to families who might not otherwise be able to afford the total cost of high-quality childcare. Catalyst Kids grants this assistance in the form of partial-tuition scholarships, contingent upon the availability of funds. A copy of the scholarship policy is attached for your information.

Your scholarship application will be reviewed upon receipt by your Center Leader. Please fill out your application completely and submit the following items with it:

The last 30 days of pay stubs for all employed family members. Family means the legal guardians of the children in the home.

Other financial documentation, such as unemployment income statements, assistance documents, child support, alimony, social security, or other pertinent financial information that illustrates the last 30 days of income.

You will be informed, in writing, of the decision regarding your application within ten (10) working days.

Eligibility

INCOME ELIGIBILITY
Family income includes all sources: wages, spousal/child support, unemployment, social security, and any other sources of income.

APPLICATION
Applications are available on our website and also by request via email. All applications must be completed thoroughly, accurately, and annually. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Records will be kept confidential.

SCHOLARSHIP TUITION PAYMENT
Recipients will receive a reduction of 30% off their monthly family tuition, as published on the center’s current fee sheet. Fee payments must be made on time and in accordance with policies. Any past due amount will cause the scholarship to be canceled.

NUMBER OF SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
Each center will be assigned a maximum number of scholarships. This number will consider the current enrollment number, the center's licensed capacity, available staffing, other subsidies available, seasonal factors, and community needs. The number of available scholarships may change at any time at the discretion of Management. In the event of a reduction in scholarships, existing participants will be given a three (3) month notice before the original tuition payment (less discount) must be paid in full.

APPEALS
In the event there is a disagreement between any family and the Center Leader regarding the implementation of the Scholarship Program, the family may appeal the decision to the Center’s Regional Director. If the family disagrees with the decision of the Regional Director, within ten (10) working days, they may appeal the decision to the Deputy Director of Operations, Alissa Olivieri, whose decision will be final.

Scholarship Program Policy Statement

Catalyst Kids provides financial assistance to children based on family eligibility. Financial assistance is granted in the form of partial scholarships, contingent upon the availability of funds. Determination of eligibility is the decision of the responsible Regional Director based on the program guidelines.

The following guidelines are used for this determination:

1. The chart below shows income eligibility based on family size. Scholarships are granted on a per-family basis. Financial documentation that reflects the last 30 days of income must be submitted.

2. Scholarship fees will equal a discount on published childcare fees (30% off) and be reviewed annually. Scholarships may not be combined with other discounts.

3. All scholarships will expire annually on June 30th (for those with AP Vouchers) and August 31st for private pay tuition families.

4. If no scholarships are available, qualified applications will be kept on file for one year. Applicants must resubmit current financial documentation at the time scholarship funds become available. After one year, applicants must reapply.

5. Scholarship will be granted based on the order of:

i. Currently-enrolled children;

ii. Lowest income first (ranking based on gross income and family size);

iii. First-come, first-served basis
