We never identify children with more than their first name, if we identify them at all.

ScholarshipsDexter Community Education offers students need-based scholarships for most of our programs to Dexter School District Families. We offer one per child per catalog. Generally, students who qualify for free lunch through the schools qualify for a scholarship of up to $100 for one class; students who qualify for reduced lunch may be eligible for a partial scholarship. We may also offer scholarships for families with special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. We are not able to offer scholarships for programs that are not run by Community Education, nor for classes that do not meet minimum enrollments. All scholarships require the Director’s approval.If you register for a class using a scholarship and cancel less than one week prior to start date, you will forfeit your scholarship for that semester. Additional scholarship funds are also available through Faith in Action of Dexter and are determined on a case-by-case basis. To apply for a Community Education scholarship, fill out the scholarship application form (available from our office and on our website) and return it to our office as soon as you know you are interested. We will confirm your eligibility, but hold registration until the class meets minimum enrollment to run. Your “place in line” for registration is reserved. When the class meets the minimum, we will register your child and send you confirmation of enrollment.
