A limited number of scholarships are available to families for testing, tutoring and classes. Eligibility is based on financial need. Every student receiving services is expected to contribute toward the cost of the services rendered. Reading Center Scholarships will not provide 100% of the cost. Scholarship requests are considered on a case by case basis throughout the year and all requests are confidential. Please disregard the date and time on this webpage, our administrative system requires forms to be attached to a date and time. If granted, applications for scholarships must be completed annually. We give priority to applicants living in Minnesota, or out of state counties near our borders. 

Every effort will be made by The Reading Center to help any child that requires our services; however, our total dollar amount of scholarship funds is limited.

Please fill out this scholarship application prior to registering for a class or tutoring scholarship. Applications will be processed in 1-3 business days once all application materials are received, including a copy of the first two pages of all household members' most recent 1040 tax form (with social security numbers blacked out). The 1040 form should be sent to read@thereadingcenter.org or to The Reading Center, 2010 Scott Rd. NW, Rochester, MN 55901.
