Scholarship Information
Scholarships are not currently available for the 2020 Virtual SPNC Sessions
Due to the generous support of local groups and individuals, including the NRT, the First Parish Unitarian Universalist's Green Sanctuary Committee, Easton Charitable Trust's Festival of Trees, Easton Garden Club, and others, a number of camp scholarships will likely be available for the 2021 season. Scholarships are largely need-based and are available to families in Easton and from towns throughout the local area. Scholarships are generally awarded for one 1-week session of programming, and priority is given to participants who have not previously received assistance. If you are an educator, counselor, therapist, clergy member, or similar individual who believes their client would benefit from receiving a camp scholarship, please forward the form below to the child's parent/ guardian for submission; if there are exceptional circumstances which may prevent a parent/guardian from applying, please contact the NRT's Education Department to speak directly to an NRT camp director for more information.
The 2020 scholarship application period is currently suspended. Applications are not accepted prior to dates provided; applications submitted after June 15th will be reviewed at the discretion of the NRT, pending availability of funds. Recipients will be notified by mid-June, or as possible. The downloadable scholarship application is available below, and contains information on the submission process, as well as information about scholarship awards.
Applications will continue to be accepted as funding allows; submission of an application does not guarantee award of funds. Camp spaces cannot be held before scholarships may be awarded, and space in any specific session(s) is not guaranteed to recipients.
