Subsidy for low-income UCM students and staff has been a priority for the ECEC.  We are happy to announce that we have a scholarship available to income qualified UCM affiliated families which would reduce their monthly tuition by 25%.  If you are interested in determining if you are income qualified for this scholarship, please contact the ECEC administrative staff and they will inform you of the income/family size scale and needed documentation to qualify for this scholarship.
