2. My child is home-schooled, can I still apply?
Yes, if the child is entering grade K-12 (2020-2021 school year) and lives in the City of College Park.
3. Do I need to register with the UMD camp or will you?
When you are contacted by the City of College Park that your child has received a scholarship, you
will receive information about the next step of registering your child for the camp.
4. How will I be contacted that I have or have not received the scholarship?
You will be contacted by email or U.S. mail with the addresses you provided on your application
whether or not your child has received a scholarship.
5. What if my child cannot make the camp after we register?
If after registering your child is unable to attend the camp, you need to contact us at least 2 weeks
in advance so another child may be able to use the funds towards his/her camp. If you do not
notify us in advance, you will not be eligible for a scholarship for at least the next year.
6. Who can I contact with questions?
Latisha Moore, Executive Assistant with the City of College Park’s Department of Youth, Family and

Yes. However, if a camp costs more than $400, you are responsible for paying the difference.

No, only one scholarship per child is awarded up to $400.
