Many hands make light work! Work scholarships are available on a limited basis for parents interested in offering volunteer services. Those who apply for a work scholarship will receive 10% off program tuition in exchange for an assigned volunteer task.
These work scholarships are only available on supply and demand basis only! This means that if all volunteer jobs are currently being taken care of we cannot offer further scholarship opportunities.
