About Our Scholarships: |
The Tuff Boy companies and other community members have contributed funds to ensure that students from low-income families in Manteca, Lathrop, Ripon, and Tracy can attend the GVWP Writing & Technology Workshops.
These full scholarships will be awarded to low-income applicants only. (If your child qualifies for free or reduced lunch at public schools, you probably meet the scholarship criteria.)
ONLY students from Manteca, Lathrop, Ripon, and Tracy are eligible for the scholarships.
The scholarships are not based on academic achievement or writing performance — GVWP workshops help all students to become better writers, regardless of their current interest and ability in writing.
To apply for a scholarship, parents must complete a "Request for Tutoring" application from GECAC (Give Every Child A Chance) and specify "Writing & Technology Workshop" at the top of the page. It's easy to get a "Request for Tutoring" form:
Pages 1 & 3 must be completed. (There's no need to select a tutoring site on page 2.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your child is already an active participant in GECAC tutoring programs, there is no need to submit another application form to GECAC. Simply telephone the GECAC office at (209) 825-7003 for enrollment instructions.
Completed forms may be submitted by mail or delivered to the GECAC office in person.
