The ACP Scholarship Fund is an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, separate from A Child’s Place School, that was created to provide tuition assistance to families in need, so that more children could attend and experience A Child’s Place School. Since 1990 the Fund has provided more than $700,000 in tuition assistance to over 300 children. The Scholarship Fund is completely volunteer-driven with 100% of the monies used for tuition assistance and fundraising expenses.

Fundraisers

The ACP Scholarship Fund board members, along with many parent volunteers, organize a number of exciting fundraisers that are not only successful in raising money for the Fund, but also help to build a strong community at A Child’s Place School. Some of the annual fundraisers in the past have included:

  • Scholarship Fund Dinner
  • Book Fair
  • Theater event for families
  • Spring Ladies Luncheon for both current and alumni moms
  • Amazon Rewards Program
