Tuition Assistance: Preschool Program

Families seeking tuition assistance will first apply for a child care subsidy through North Coast Opportunities (NCO) or Sonoma County’s 4c’s. Both these programs use an income scale based on family size to determine eligibility and co-pay. Paperwork is available in our office or by emailing admissions@forager.school.

For families that may require additional financial support, we have a limited amount of need-based tuition assistance funding available through The Forager Fund.

Tuition Assistance: Elementary

The Forager School is committed to making our elementary program accessible to a diverse community of families. We offer need-based tuition assistance through The Forager Fund. After submitting an admissions application, interested families are invited to complete a separate application for tuition assistance that is reviewed by a third-party processor.

Applying to the Forager Fund

Applications to The Forager Fund open on May 1, and families are requested to submit their information and supporting documentation by June 15. For further details and instructions please review this informational sheet. The third party processor we use for tuition assistance is School & Student Services (SSS).
