Funding Available to Help DC Families Access Our Summer Programs
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow, connect, and thrive over the summer — and we’re happy to share two funding resources that may help DC families access our programs.

The Greater Washington Community Foundation has created the Learn24 OST Youth Scholarship Program DC students may be eligible for scholarships of up to $5,000 (or up to $10,000 for students with disabilities enrolling in disability-specific programming) through Learn24’s OST Youth Scholarship Program, managed by the Greater Washington Community Foundation. The Summer Programs application opened March 2, 2026 and is accepted on a rolling basis, with a minimum award of $1,000.
