Lincoln Park Zoo Conservation Camp Scholarship Information
Even if the economy has taken away from your wallet, don’t let it take away your kids from experiencing this fun and educational experience. Fill out an application for our scholarship program and help send your kids to camp despite the tight economy. The generosity of HSBC-North America has made it possible for zoo to be able to provide scholarships for one week of camp to kids who may not have had the opportunity otherwise.
Apply for a scholarship now because only 30 scholarships are available covering one week of camp at no cost; if you receive a scholarship you can also register for a second week of camp and pay 50% of the full camp price. All children grades 1-8 are encouraged to apply but scholarships are limited and sending in the application does not guarantee a spot at camp. Applications include tuition and are due to the zoo no later than February 13, 2010. Recipients of the awards will be notified by phone or e-mail on February 19th, 2010.
