Dollar Amount Requested: $200,000.00
#4 How funds will be used:
EVICS is requesting $200,000 to fund Tuition Assistance for the fiscal year 2024 as follows:
# months Span Approx #Children Avg Cost/month Total
5 Jan – May 27 $550 $74,250
3 Jun – Aug 38 $550 $62,700
4 Sept – Dec 35 $550 $77,000
The total anticipated spending is $213,950. EVICS has obtained a grant in the amount of
$15,000 which will cover the amount over $200,000.
EVICS anticipates an increase in the number of children needing Tuition Assistance for the
balance of 2024 even after families have been directed to apply for CCAP and LCCF. CCAP is
currently frozen and there are no indications that it will be opened by the end of the year. EVICS
currently has 9 children on the waitlist and there are 5 children known to be receiving funding
from UPK, which will stop during the summer months, but they will need assistance for
childcare. In the fall some children will move to UPK which will decrease the number, but a
new childcare center is scheduled to open in August creating more available childcare spots. In
addition, it is hoped that this Tuition Assistance program will be able to expand to cover some
applications that are not being covered by LCCF. No new 6E funds will be used to support an
EVICS staff position.
EVICS will provide a report of the 1st 6 months of the year to the town staff by July 31, 2024 and
will provide a full year report to the town staff by January 31, 2025.
