Polly Cox Memorial Scholarship

The Polly Cox Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1984 in memory of Polly Cox, a valued friend and member of Dulin who served on the Executive Board. This tuition scholarship provides funds for prospective families who would otherwise be unable to attend Dulin or for current families during times of unexpected financial hardship.

Dulin Cooperative Preschool awards tuition and/or hardship scholarships. Scholarships, which are available for educational programing, will be awarded based on need and may provide up to 80% of the total tuition cost. Funds cannot currently be used for application fees, Lunch Bunch or Summer Camp. Families are responsible for providing the remaining tuition and fees on the first of each month. All other participatory obligations to the preschool remain in place, regardless of financial assistance.

She drew people together and strengthened friendships between both the children and parents.
