The purpose of the scholarship fund is to remove financial roadblocks so as to allow Michigan Tech’s most needy families access to high-quality early childhood education at Michigan Tech’s Little Huskies Child Development Center. The focus demographics are undergraduate, graduate, and low-income employee families. Their success at Michigan Tech is a guiding principle.
The scholarship awards are available for up to a full-year, twelve-month period. However, nine-month schedules will be considered if it is best for the families. The absence priority policy currently in place at Little Huskies will be used if families dis-enroll.
Once awarded, tuition scholarships are intended to continue with the eligible family until the child is no longer attending Little Huskies, financial need can no longer be documented, or the child’s enrollment drops below full-time. Families receiving a scholarship will be required to verify continuing financial need and university enrollment if applicable on an annual basis, and the continuing award commitment will be verified after review by the committee. Annual continuation will depend upon funding availability, and any other discretionary changes made by the University, committee, or donor(s).
The application is June 6, 2017 - July 31, 2017 and funds are awarded in August each year.
