Q: How do I apply for a scholarship?

A:
The Kent Cummins Magic Camp maintains a Scholarship Fund to help defray tuition for campers who might otherwise not be able to attend. Funds are available based on need...our goal is to not let a lack of money keep a child who would benefit from our programs from attending.

To apply for a scholarship, you need to submit a registration form (available here) and a letter (email is fine) which explains three things:

1. Why do you need the scholarship?

We don't need tax forms or doctors' letters; a simple statement will suffice. ("I am an old woman who lives in a shoe, and I have so many children I don't know what to do!")

Some of the most common reasons involve single parenting, unusual medical expenses, etc.
2. How much do you need?

Most people can pay at least some portion of the tuition. For example, if you can pay half of the tuition, then the scholarship fund can help two children instead of just one. However, we want you to be honest in asking for what you really need. We have had parents who sent in the deposit but that was all they could afford.

We do not offer scholarships for before and after camp care.
3. Why do you think your child would particularly benefit from attending The Kent Cummins Magic Camp?

We want to make our scholarships available to those children who will benefit the most from our specific programs, as opposed to simply a need for day care.

When you send in your application, it helps if you can send in at least a portion of the required deposit. This demonstrates a commitment on your part. However, do not let the lack of funds for the deposit delay your request...we understand that there are financial concerns, or you wouldn't be requesting a scholarship in the first place!
We answer scholarship requests as soon as we can, normally within two weeks of receiving them.

Answer 2

Ask the school social worker to assist you with finding resources. Also most towns have youth services. An agengcy like that could also find out what is available.
There are usually grants for those that can't afford these services.
Check also on the state level, children & family services to see if they have something to offer.

Answer 3

I work at a camp for kids with special needs. Many of the kids have scholarships from places like the American Camp Association that pay for it.

Answer 4

Perhaps you can look for a charity organisation that takes care of teenagers with ADHD or look for a social worker. You can ask a doctor to recommend you contacts of such social workers.

Answer 5

You could try to go through the YMCA or the Boys and girls club, they can find you somewhere for him to be or to recommend to you, and I'm sure it will be on a sliding scale or it will be free, they have all sorts of programs, if anything they can recommend somewhere for you!! Good Luck!
