Here is the info on the 2022 Summer Out-of-School Time Child Care Scholarship:
The Department of Public Health and Human Services' Early Childhood and Family Support Division (ECFSD) is providing scholarships to working families of elementary-age children to help cover costs of out-of-school programming/child care for the summer months. Scholarships are limited, one-time grants, with a choice of either $1,500 or $2,500 per eligible child based on a family's summer care costs. This opportunity is made possible by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA). ECFSD anticipates a total of 3,200 scholarships to be awarded across the state of Montana.
Eligible families have:
Parents/guardians engaged in the workforce;
Children entering kindergarten through fifth grade in the Fall of 2022;
Be able to demonstrate a need for out-of-school programming/child care for the summer; and
Not currently participating in the Best Beginnings Child Care Scholarship.
There are no income requirements.
The application can be found online: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RC7FRB2 . The application opens May 20th at 9:00 a.m. I’ve also attached a QR code if that’s helpful.
Applicants will be contacted by their local Child Care Resource and Referral Agency by either the email address or phone number they provided in their application. Awarded applicants will receive a check via mail.
