SCHOLARSHIP

PAUSE4kids provides scholarship or grant funding for programs or services for children with special needs. The Board of Directors reviews applications submitted by individual parents on behalf of their child. Due to limited funding, the maximum scholarship we can provide is $500 for a 12 month period. Detailed scholarship guidelines are below, and are also linked at the bottom of the page.
