Step 5A
Scholarships
Funding for ILS Early Childhood scholarships is generously provided by donors committed to supporting early childhood education. While these scholarships are not need-based, we encourage only applicants who would benefit from financial assistance to apply. Scholarships are offered on a year-by-year basis, contingent upon available funds. If a student qualifies for more than one scholarship, ILS reserves the right to cap a maximum amount per student for the academic year.
The deadline to submit this form to ecdirector@ilcp.org or the school office is May 1, 2026 for the distribution that will take place in May. A student needs to be enrolled and the registration fee paid for 2026-27 to qualify. Additional distributions will be scheduled based on any remaining funds.
