University Presbyterian Day School Scholarship Fund

The University Presbyterian Day School, under the auspices of the University Presbyterian Church, is committed to making quality early education accessible to all families. To support this mission, we have established the Day School Scholarship Fund to provide financial assistance to families in need, ensuring that children can benefit from our nurturing and developmentally focused programs.

Scholarship Program Details

Purpose: The scholarship fund is designed to assist families facing financial challenges by reducing the cost of tuition, enabling children to participate in our full-time early learning program.
Eligibility: Scholarships are available to families enrolled in the University Presbyterian Day School full-time program (for children ages 3 months to Pre-K4).
Award Structure:
- Scholarships are awarded for one semester at a time.
- Each semester, recipients must reapply for continued assistance, and awards are re-evaluated based on financial need and available funds.
- Tuition discounts are offered at the following levels: 25%, 33%, or 50% of the tuition cost.
Selection Process: The Day School Committee, appointed by the University Presbyterian Church Session, carefully reviews all applications and determines the scholarship amount based on demonstrated need and fund availability.
Application Process: Scholarship application forms are available for pickup at the Day School office. Completed applications must be submitted by the specified deadline for each semester. For more information, please contact the Day School office directly.
