Sign up for a Citizenship Grant by May 22 |
Signup is now open for 2023-2024 Citizenship Grant opportunities. Please register your students if they are available to help with summer work. Each opportunity has a dollar amount assigned to it that would be a credit toward next school year’s tuition. These spots are prioritized for those having a financial need.
A Citizenship Grant has three components to it:
- Minimum GPA requirement
- Attendance requirement
- A work/study element
These grants are designed and prioritized to help those with a financial aid need, but open to all students. The work will vary, but typical duties include cleaning, moving furniture/classrooms around, landscaping, trash pickup, etc. The GPA and Attendance requirements will be monitored throughout the school year and, if in jeopardy, students and families will be notified if corrective actions are needed to earn the full amount of the grant.
In order to be considered for a Citizenship Grant, you need to sign up for the work/study component of the grant. Deadline for submission of your interests is May 22. Click here to signup and learn more about the summer sessions.
