Fee Assistance

We strive to provide affordable lifelong learning opportunities for everyone in our community. In addition to our modest fees, each of our programs offers some form of Fee Assistance, scholarships, or other discounts to help families access our programs if they are facing an on-going financial burden, or may be going through a unique situation. Check out the tabs below for opportunities that are available or complete this form to let us know which programs you are interested in. Someone from our department will follow up with you to help explore what options you may be eligible for.
