Children’s Garden Scholarship Application

Please complete this form to apply for a Children’s Garden scholarship for the Spring/Summer 2024 program seasons. (Applications for Fall 2024 will open Monday, June 3, 2024.) Be sure to review the scholarship protocols below.

A limited number of need-based scholarships are available for Children’s Garden participants, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Scholarship recipients will receive a voucher code to use for online registration. Spots will no longer be held in advance. Participants who are granted a voucher code must register online when registration opens. Remember, spots fill quickly.
Those who receive a full scholarship are required to pay a $50 commitment fee.
Scholarships are granted for one program season (spring, summer, fall) and may not be available for more than one season per participant, depending on the number of scholarship applicants.
Consistent attendance is required for scholarship recipients; lack of attendance may affect eligibility for future seasons.
