Scholarship Options: Supporting Families While Protecting Program Longevity

Helping Raise Humanity is committed to making high-quality infant care accessible while also ensuring the long-term stability of our program. Thanks to donated labor hours and previously allocated program income, we are able to offer two distinct scholarship options designed to meet families where they are financially—without compromising daily operations, staff support, or future sustainability.

Scholarships are intentionally limited in number and structured to be fully funded, transparent, and equitable.

Scholarship Availability & Capacity Limits

To maintain financial stability and protect the longevity of our program:

• One Immediate Relief Scholarship and one Future Credit Scholarship are available for every four enrolled families

• At full enrollment of eight families, a maximum of:

  • Two Immediate Relief Scholarships

  • Two Future Credit Scholarships

• Remaining families enroll at the standard tuition rate

This structure ensures scholarships remain sustainable and do not place financial strain on the program.

​

Scholarship Option 1: Immediate Relief Scholarship

Designed for families who need lower tuition right away

This scholarship provides an immediate reduction in daily tuition, helping families manage current financial constraints while still supporting program operations.

Tuition Breakdown

• Standard budgeted tuition: $40 per day

• Immediate Relief tuition: $35 per day

Family Impact

• Daily savings: $5 per day

• Annual savings: approximately $1,300 per year

Program Impact

• Tuition still contributes to daily operations and long-term stability

• Scholarship is funded through previously allocated program income and donated labor

• Number of seats is limited to protect program sustainability

This option prioritizes immediate affordability while ensuring the program remains financially healthy.

​

Scholarship Option 2: Future Credit Investment Path

Designed for families who can contribute more initially in exchange for greater long-term savings

This option allows families to “invest forward” by paying slightly more during the first portion of the year. Those funds help strengthen program reserves and scholarship capacity, which then allows for a deeper tuition reduction later in the year.

Tuition Breakdown

Phase 1 – Contribution Period (First 86 days):

• Daily tuition: $38 per day

Phase 2 – Scholarship Credit Period (Remaining 174 days):

• Daily tuition: $30 per day

Family Impact

• Total annual savings: approximately $1,912 per year

• Larger overall discount than the Immediate Relief option

• Predictable tuition reduction after the initial contribution period

Program Impact

• Early contributions strengthen financial stability

• Funds are available before the deeper discount is applied

• Helps build emergency reserves and expand program offerings

• Supports the availability of future scholarships for other families

This option benefits families who can budget ahead and simultaneously strengthens the program’s long-term resilience.

Why This Scholarship Model Works

This two-path scholarship structure allows Helping Raise Humanity to:

• Offer real, meaningful tuition relief

• Protect staff wages and licensing compliance

• Maintain emergency and operational reserves

• Expand learning environments and enrichment opportunities

• Avoid sudden tuition increases or financial instability

Most importantly, it ensures that scholarships are fully funded, transparent, and responsibly managed—never promised without the resources to support them.
