10,000 Degrees Childcare Application for 2024 - 2025 School Year


Welcome to the 10,000 Degrees Childcare Scholarship application.

Overview

10,000 Degrees provides scholarships to individuals with significant financial need who exhibit a strong desire to go to college, and who have the perseverance necessary to graduate from college and accomplish their educational goals.

10,000 Degrees proudly provides the Child Care Assistance Scholarship for parents that reside in Marin County. The scholarship pays for a portion of a child's day care while the parent is enrolled in college. The Child Care Assistance Scholarship is available for the months of September through May. The scholarship is renewable annually, provided the parent maintains satisfactory progress.

In addition to this application students must submit:

  • Your child care provider’s IRS Form W-9.  It must be signed!
  • A copy of child care provider’s license (ask your provider).

If eligible, you are required to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before applying for any 10,000 Degrees scholarships.  The FAFSA is found at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
