Affordability
Fee waivers, sliding scales and scholarships published by the organizations that run these programs — each with who is eligible and the page that decides it. Nothing here is estimated from a family's income, and a program with no aid published simply does not appear. A few are awards toward college rather than help with a program fee; those are labelled College scholarship.
11 schemes serve Westwood families.
Financial-need scholarship open to Westwood residents toward Westwood Recreation summer programs; only certain programs are eligible and programs run by some contractors are not.
Camp scholarship of $800 per child per fiscal year for school-aged children residing in Westwood, paid directly to the camp, with application deadlines in February, March, April and May.
Short-term emergency funding for Westwood residents of any income or age facing a crisis, covering items such as rent, utilities, medical bills and summer camp fees.
Families who qualify for free or reduced-price meals and sign the Sharing Information with Other Programs form may get waivers or reductions on school fees including athletic fees, bus fees, field trips and kindergarten tuition.
Need-based scholarships for graduating Westwood High School seniors and for WPS students placed in approved out-of-district special education high schools; applicants submit a FAFSA Student Aid Index and awards are tiered by level of need.
State subsidy that pays child care and out-of-school-time providers directly for Massachusetts families who meet the program's income and service-need rules; families pay a parent fee based on family size and income and many families pay nothing.

Registration openings, deadlines and published dates for programs in Westwood, taken from the providers’ own pages. Nothing here is a deadline we worked out — where a source does not state a date, it says so.
