Is financial assistance available?
While the ALDC is not able to underwrite the cost of tuition, resources are available to subsidize the cost of the camp. In particular, CHADD has a scholarship program for children and adolescents with ADHD to help them obtain successful summer camp experiences. Because our summer youth programs are identified by CHADD as eligible camps for children with ADHD, campers in our programs may apply for tuition assistance through CHADD. For further information, please consult the CHADD website.
Financial assistance may be available in form of monthly support to the child, one-time reimbursement for expenses related to initial adoption expenses, and a federal tax credit for the year in which the adoption takes place. The monthly support, called adoption subsidy, is available for children who meet eligibility requirements. A subsidy helps to meet the costs of providing for the child s daily needs. Subsidies may be available to help pay for medical or psychological services and legal fees to finalize an adoption.
