Frequently asked questions :

• Funding is based on funds availability.
• Children that have qualified in the past are NOT automatically qualified nor are their siblings.
• Scholarship amounts are determined on a family by family basis.
• We fund programs that provide positive peers and role models, one on one programs or lessons will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
• If a child is approved we will review of attendance & participation before reviewing for further funding.
• Each child can be nominated once a year, beginning from the the date we receive their nomination.
• Each program has a different cost associated with it, it is up to the family to find the best program for their child including; location, dates & times, as well as how to fund the program once the scholarship amount has been used (plan ahead accordingly). We can offer options and suggestions of organizations we work with when needed.
• Some Camps are NOT fundable. Only camps that offer further education in an environment with positive peers and role models for a program will be considered, for example: basketball camp, mash camp, music camp.
• We are not associated or affiliated with any of the programs we fund, nor do we have any authority over other agencies or entities.
