ELC Tuition Assistance
Tuition assistance funding will be available to approximately 25% of enrolled ELC families. Families earning 80% of Area Median Income for San Mateo County or less are eligible to receive ELC tuition assistance and will be entered into the lottery for a scholarship (please see table below for income limits). Eligible families must live in MPCSD school district boundaries or be eligible to enroll in MPCSD through the Tinsley Transfer Program. Income will be verified by tax returns and pay stubs. Tuition will be determined on a sliding scale, based on income and availability of funding. For questions about tuition assistance, please contact Cynthia Nava at 650-463-1236 ext 0.
