Who is Eligible to receive a scholarship?
All prospective campers in financial, spiritual, and emotional need are eligible to apply. The scholarship program is not available for groups or churches.
Does the scholarship cover all costs?
Scholarships towards the camp registration fee are given based on individual need. Camp Store money, Snack Shack funds, and day camp bus transportation are not included in the scholarship program. Any portion of a registration fee which is not covered by the scholarship must be paid by the applicant.
How are scholarships funded?
Scholarships are made possible through direct donations from individuals and organizations and through Camp Monroe fundraising. Scholarship funds do not come from fees charged to our campers or retreat guests.
Am I guaranteed to receive a scholarship?
We do our best to never turn away a camper due to inability to pay! Applications are reviewed by the scholarship committee and awards are made based on financial, spiritual, and emotional need.
Is filling out the application registering my child for camp or our family event?
No. We recommend families starting the application process and then submitting the scholarship paperwork. Once we contact you to offer the scholarship award and you accept the award, you must then go to our online registration and complete register for camp.
Will I get the camp week I want?
Space is limited so get your scholarship application in as soon as possible to ensure you are able to register for the week of your choice!
When are scholarship applications due?
Scholarships are awarded on a first-come basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Summer camp applications are reviewed by the scholarship committee January 1 through June 30.
