Our Services > Scholarship Assessment

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.
