The Children's Enrichment Fund Scholarship

We’re glad you’re here! Through the Children’s Enrichment Fund, qualifying families can receive up to $200 per child per year to help cover the cost of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, music, and other enrichment opportunities.

To help us process your application as quickly and efficiently as possible, please have all required supporting documents ready to upload, such as activity flyers, registration information, or other documentation requested in the application.

Once you submit your application, a United Way Charlotte County will contact you to review your information, discuss next steps, and help guide you through the process. Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee funding. Requests are reviewed based on eligibility and available funds.

Please apply only once per child. Submitting duplicate applications may cause delays in processing your request.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s enrichment journey!

Applicant Certification & Acknowledgment

Families receiving scholarships through the Children’s Enrichment Fund agree to the following expectations. These guidelines are in place to ensure responsible use of funds, program integrity, and fair access for all eligible children:

1.    Participation (80% Attendance Required):
Children must attend at least 80% of the scheduled sessions or activities for the approved program. Families may be asked to provide documentation, or UWCC may verify attendance directly with the provider.

2.    Survey Completion:
Families are required to complete a semi-annual survey or a post-program survey, depending on the duration of the activity. This input helps UWCC improve the fund and demonstrate impact to donors and partners.

3.    Use of Funds as Intended:
Scholarship funds must be used exclusively for the program or registration fee identified in the application. Funds may not be used for personal expenses, equipment, travel, uniforms, or other unrelated costs. Awards are not transferable between children, families, or activities.

4.    Timely Communication:
Families must promptly notify UWCC if their child is unable to participate in the program, if the activity is canceled, or if there are any changes to their plans that affect participation. 

5.    Ongoing Eligibility:
Failure to meet any of these requirements—such as lack of attendance, improper use of funds, or failure to complete follow-up surveys—may result in ineligibility for future scholarships through the Children’s Enrichment Fund.
