Scholarships Dexter Community Education offers Dexter School District families need-based scholarships for most of our programs. 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 per catalog; 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. Your signature on the application indicates that you have read and accept these policies. Once our office receives your application, we will confirm eligibility, but hold registration until the course meets minimum enrollment. Your “place in line” will be preserved. Once minimum enrollment is met, we will register your child and send you confirmation. Community Education Class Scholarship Application

Instructional swim program and lifeguard training classes. Swim lessons are on hold for September & October 2023 due to limited pool space (there are two fall high school sports). I know, we are sad too. So many families were so happy we were offering them again - but we hope to start them up again in mid-November so keep an eye out.
