First preschool financial aid program launched by Trinity Wall Street

[Trinity Church Wall Street press release] Trinity Preschool will be able to serve children and families from a wider range of socio-economic backgrounds through a new needs-based financial aid program beginning in the 2015-2016 school year, announced the Rev. William Lupfer, rector of Trinity Wall Street.

“Quality early education is essential in giving a child a head start in life. By offering financial assistance at Trinity Preschool, we will help close the margin for families in need who live or work in the area,” said Lupfer. “Our staff is eager to welcome more people into our community.”

Established as a ministry in 1982 to serve families who live or work in Lower Manhattan, Trinity Preschool’s mission is to support children’s development by nurturing wholeness in mind, body, and spirit. Although it is an Episcopal school, the preschool is open to children of all faiths and traditions.

Financial aid awards will be determined annually based on an enrolled family’s demonstrated financial need and the program’s availability of funds.

Applications for the 2015-2016 school year must be received by June 12.  Applicants will be informed of the financial aid awards by June 19. Applications received after June 12 will be considered based upon the availability of funds and eligibility. Families will need to apply each year for the program if they anticipate any financial need.
