Campers and counselors come from all over the country and the world, representing a variety of interests and backgrounds. We hope that each camper learns to respect ideas and cultures that may differ from their own. A scholarship program allows us to offer the Chewonki experience to a wide cross-section of participants. Campers are accepted without regard to race, color or national origin.

This application and the calculations used are based on those used by the School and Student Service for Financial Aid. Please return the form directly to us. This is a confidential financial statement. Please base your figures on your current tax forms if available. If not, use your previous figures with any notes attached, particularly of any significant changes. Fill out the form completely and as accurately as possible, remembering to include in item #23, the amount you feel is available from your sources for tuition this summer. Most funds awarded are partial tuitions. The maximum awards made assume full need but still require a minimum payment of $600.

PLEASE NOTE the application deadline is FEBRUARY 15. We may not be able to make awards until March, but the sooner we have your application on file, the easier it will be for us to ensure we have all of the necessary information. For families who are new to Chewonki, we also ask for two references on the application form.

IMPORTANT: Most applicants have already completed the Registration/Agreement Form indicating their program and session choice. In order to save space in the proper program, a completed Registration/ Agreement form and a refundable $100 deposit are requested if you have not already done so. It may be best to call ahead for available spaces if you have not already completed your registration and reserved a space. Scholarship requests usually far exceed the amount of funds available; therefore we cannot guarantee funds to all that apply.
