The Portland Foundation Launches Pilot Early Scholarship Program for Westminster Preschool – Portland Students
The Portland Foundation is proud to announce the launch of a pilot Early Scholarship Program designed to expand access to high-quality early childhood education for local families. The program will provide need-based scholarships to 50 students enrolled at Westminster Preschool – Portland, beginning February 1, 2026.
The pilot program reflects The Portland Foundation’s commitment to strengthening educational outcomes by investing early in children’s development. Scholarship awards will be determined using a sliding scale based on the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), ensuring that financial assistance is aligned with each family’s level of need.
The scholarships will help offset tuition costs, making early education more accessible to families who might otherwise face financial barriers.
The scholarship application is available on The Portland Foundation’s website, www.portlandfoundation.org. Look for 2026 Early Learning Scholarship Application under Applications & Deadlines.
