Partnering with a variety of organizations, including the Park District and School District 35, Family Service of Glencoe provides confidential assessments for eligibility for scholarships and family assistance. FSG doesn't fund the scholarship; it merely assesses eligibility. The financial assistance comes from the organization.
Qualifications and Applications
When families request financial help from a participating organization, an FSG staff member meets with a family member to determine the family's income and level of need. The staff member uses a grid to determine eligibility based upon income and other factors. Once eligibility is determined and discussed, FSG sends a letter advising the organizations. Scholarship eligibility lasts one year.
