For Parents
Enrollment
What happens when your name comes up on our waitlist for enrollment? We’re glad you asked! In this section we will share how you will get notified that you are eligible for enrollment and review the enrollment process.
Outreach
When your name is pulled from our waitlist, we will notify you by sending you a message in your parent portal, email, and/or text. You will be asked to complete the TX3C Standard Application and we will provide you instructions to submit your eligibility documents.
You have 14 days to respond to our enrollment outreach. If we do not hear from you, we will send you a denial notification and you will be removed from our waitlist. We welcome you to re-apply for the child care scholarship program at any time should things change.
IMPORTANT: We rely on the contact information you provided us in your waitlist application. This is why it is important to keep your contact information up to date! To update your contact information at any time, email us directly at austinccs@wfscapitalarea.com.
Completing Your Enrollment
We can only determine your eligibility once all eligibility documents are received, so please make sure to use the checklist included in our notice to avoid any delays.
Once we determine that you are eligible, your parent share of cost (PSoC) is calculated and your child care scholarship is awarded for 12 months.
You will be asked to renew your child care scholarship annually, 45 days prior to your 12 months ending. You’ll need to complete a new TX3C Standard Application and submit your eligibility documents to confirm your eligibility and renew your child care scholarship. If your family remains eligible, your child care scholarship can continue to provide financial support for your child’s care until they turn 13.
