2023-2024 Summer Scholarship Information

 

At CEISMC we believe that financial hardship should never hinder a child's opportunity to participate in one of our summer programs. As a result, we are proud to offer scholarships for all of our on-campus school year and summer programs. Scholarships reduce the registration fee for a summer program by 75%.  Each program has a limited number of scholarships and they are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
