Family Tuition Assistance applications

The COVID-19 Pandemic created a hardship on families and their ability to remain employed due to lack of childcare. Tuition Assistance grants can help middle-income, working families overcome financial barriers that limit access to high-quality childcare. 

These grants are provided by the City of Spokane to assist with stabilizing the household in the aftermath of the pandemic, offering support to families who have been in the workforce for at least three months.
