Summer Camp Scholarships

The Yellow Springs Community Council will be administering a limited number of scholarships for local youth in need of financial assistance to attend a summer camp they may otherwise be unable to afford. Scholarships of up to $100 will be provided on a first come-first considered basis to Yellow Springs residents in grades K-11. Parents or guardians in need of such financial help will be asked to send a statement of how attending summer camp would benefit their child along with a copy of the completed camp application to the YSCC, PO Box 274, Yellow Springs, during the two-week period between May 10-21. Recipients of the scholarships will be contacted during the week of May 24. The YSCC will then forward the scholarship money in the child's name directly to the camp. Parents should be sure all contact information is included in the request.

Villagers who would like to make a tax-exempt donation to the scholarship fund are invited and encouraged to do so. Checks can be sent to the YSCC, PO Box 274.

Questions can be directed to YSCC board chairperson Pam Conine at 767-8031.
