There are no scholarship deadlines, but Camp-In Scholarships will be given only during a Camp-In season, which runs from October - May.

For Individual/Family Scholarships, the participants will need to fill out a Camp-In Scholarship Form. Two types of individual/family Camp-In scholarships are available:

1. Scholarships for 85% of the fee are available for individuals/families currently receiving public assistance (TANF, MFIP, General Assistance, WIC, Medicaid or Medical Assistance, SSI, Food Stamps, MN Care, or Section 8 Housing). You will be awarded or declined depending on the availability of funds.
2. Scholarships for 50% of the fee are available for other individuals/families needing assistance. These awards are based on financial need and availability of funds.

For School Scholarships, a school will need to provide written verification of the percentage of students involved in the free or reduce lunch program. Three types of school Camp-In scholarships are available:

1. If 95% of the student body is receiving free or reduced lunches, a Scholarship will be awarded to the school for 50% of the Camp-In fees.
2. If 75% of the student body is receiving free or reduced lunches, a Scholarship will be awarded to the school for 25% of the Camp-In fees.
3. If 50% of the student body is receiving free or reduced lunches, a Scholarship will be awarded to the school for 12% of the Camp-In fees.
