If children are on free or reduced lunch at school, they are eligible. The teacher then prepares a letter stating the number of children in the class that meet this criteria and the letter is signed by the principal/director of the school. We approve/deny scholarship and then notify the teacher of the scholarship amount. We approve nearly 100% of these requests. We also use this fund for select adult groups, too. The fund is large enough that we can accommodate just about everyone who has a need. -----Original Message----- From: Robert T.
