What is available:
Payments up to the NYS Market Rates for Westchester will be made directly to child care providers, to help first responders and essential workers pay for care right now. As part of our Scholarship Fund process, you will also be required to apply for a Westchester DSS subsidy; our scholarship could help pay for care until those funds come through. The subsidy would then replace the scholarship, subject to ongoing eligibility. The Child Care Council does not determine eligibility, award, or pay the subsidy, but our Subsidy Specialist will help parents complete the application.
Timing:
You can apply for the scholarship today - funds are available now. We will do our best to review applications within 3 days, and get back to you with an answer ASAP. If you are approved, a payment could be made to your child care provider within a week after submitting the enrollment form. The scholarship is renewable on a week-to-week basis, based upon the availability of funds and your eligibility for a Westchester DSS subsidy.
This Scholarship Fund was made possible by The Westchester Community Foundation, a division of The New York Community Foundation, and RXR. We thank them for this generous support for our brave first responders and essential staff, their children and our devoted and courageous child care businesses.
