Circus Center is working to dismantle the barriers that prevent families from accessing our programs.

 

We allocate part of our total revenue to our Sliding Scale Financial Aid Program. We currently provide need-based financial aid to families to help offset tuition fees for the following programs:

  • Summer Camp (up to 4 weeks per summer)
  • Children's circus classes

 

Please note that if you are applying you will need to provide income verification via one or more of the following documents:

  • Most recent federal income tax return (Form 1040, 1st page only)
  • Pay stubs for the past two months
  • Proof of participation in public assistance programs (e.g., SNAP, WIC, Medi-Cal)
  • Unemployment benefits documentation, if applicable


POLICIES

 

  • Tuition assistance for youth classes is available only to students and families who commit to the full program. Partial participation and tuition assistance don't mix.
  • Circus Center cannot accept incomplete Tuition Assistance applications.
  • Please note that we have limited funds for tuition assistance each session. To have the best possible shot at receiving aid, please apply as soon as possible.

TO APPLY

 

  1. Fill out our online application. You can apply for youth class aid here, or for summer camp aid here.
  2. Check your inbox for an email! 

 

Please Note: All financial aid applications must be submitted and processed in advance of registering for any class/program. Any registration payments or purchases made before your complete application has been processed are ineligible for aid. If you register without first submitting an application, or without informing our office you will be applying, you will be charged the full amount for the program/session.

 

The total amount of tuition assistance available each year depends on our annual budget, and will grow with increased fundraising. To support this program with a tax-deductible donation, please click here.
