Friends of LEAP Camp Scholarship Program

IMPORTANT NOTE to Scholarship Applicants: *NEW* in 2012, LEAP Camp Registration will be conducted separately from the *NEW* Friends of LEAP Camp Scholarship Program.

This year, the newly forming Friends of LEAP will manage the scholarship program for LEAP Camp. Friends of LEAP are a group of volunteer parents and community members. They are dedicated to raising scholarship money and offering financial support so that campers and families can participate in LEAP Camp, regardless of financial limitations.

In addition to creating fundraising opportunities, Friends of LEAP will:

• Receive and review scholarship request forms
• Follow up with applicants
• Assess qualifications
• Determine awards

Scholarships will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis, based on demonstrated need and available funds. Friends of LEAP will review scholarship requests monthly. All information will be kept confidential. The first round of scholarship requests will be reviewed on April 1, 2012. Depending on Friends of LEAP’s ability to raise money, there may or may not be additional rounds.

Scholarship applicants will be notified as quickly as possible. If you are selected to receive a scholarship, Friends of LEAP will notify you and LEAP Camp of the award. Please be prepared to respond quickly in the event of an award. If there are still spots available, LEAP Camp will hold a spot for 5 days while you accept or decline the scholarship award. Spots will fill up fast, so please submit your scholarship request ASAP.

Once you accept the scholarship award, LEAP Camp will start your registration in our Online Registration system, apply the Scholarship award to your account, and send you a link to complete your registration and select payment options for the remaining balance due.

Scholarship funds are limited and demand may quickly exceed availability. Limited camper spots are likely to fill-up before scholarships are awarded so we encourage people to find their own funding if at all possible to ensure they attend camp this season. Many campers have worked hard to raise their own tuition for camp in the past as well as found their own sponsorship in their family and community

HOW TO APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT

In order to support as many campers as possible, we ask that each family pay as much as they can reasonably afford and request no more scholarship than is absolutely needed to allow your camper to attend.
