Dear Parents, Guardians and Child Care Providers,

Thank you for your interest in the Manistee County Early Childhood Preschool Scholarship Program. Early Childhood Programs are important to young children as they get ready for school and life. The Scholarship Committee can only fund partial scholarships at this time due to limited funding. However, additional funding may be available through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Child Development and Care (CDC) Program.

There are a number of preschool programs in Manistee County including FREE choices for families that qualify. All programs are listed on the attached Manistee County Preschool Scholarship Program Interest Form. We hope that all of these options will help you decide which choice is best for your family.

Online applications are or will soon be available at: www.manisteefamily.org

To apply for a scholarship, follow these steps:

Identify which preschool option is best for your family. Note that some programs may be free to those who qualify and others charge tuition.
Look into other sources of financial assistance including the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Child Development and Care (CDC) Program. Manistee MDHHS (231) 723-8375
Fill out the attached back of this letter and the interest form and submit to Seth Hopkins, Manistee Intermediate School District, 772 East Parkdale Avenue, Manistee, MI 49660 or email: [email protected] . You may also submit the form to your preferred preschool.
The Scholarship Committee will review your application.
