SUMMER CAMP SCHOLARSHIP POLICY Policy Statement It is the policy of the Crissy Field Center to provide financial assistance to applicants who request it whenever possible. The intent of this policy is accomplished by setting fees at rates affordable to the majority of residents in the Bay Area, and by providing financial assistance to those for whom the Crissy Field Center’s fees are not affordable. Please note that financial assistance is a limited fund and funds will be disbursed based on applicant’s financial need. Both partial and full scholarships are available. Those that receive scholarships will automatically qualify for extended care scholarships. Receipt of scholarship award(s) in previous years does not determine eligibility for current summer camp year. Selection Process Applicants must submit income verification (W2, Pay stub, Voucher, SSI, etc.) for the entire household by post mail, email, or fax. This information will be kept confidential and used only in determining financial eligibility. Based on a review of the application, the program manager will determine financial assistance eligibility. A sliding scale based on total household income and number of residents will be used to determine the scholarship award. Starting March 15th, applications will be reviewed on the 1st and 15th of each month and applicants can expect notification of their application status, via email, within two weeks of submission. Fees and Restrictions Each camper is eligible for one scholarship session per summer. Approved applicants will be asked to pay a non-refundable $35 scholarship application fee. Recipients of 50% (half) scholarships will be invoiced for the reduced session price. For example, $749 (cost of camp session) - $324.50 (50% scholarship) = $324.50 (applicant responsibility). Enrollment is not confirmed until payment is received. Payment for the scholarship application fee and, if applicable, the reduced session price, must be received within two weeks of registration or slot will be forfeited.
