After my program recently became a Type A program to meet the needs of some of the families in my community and tuition increases, one of my parents was faced with concerns of having to now pay for two children and possibly losing her job because she would no longer be able to afford child care. She was able to get the help she needed through the RISE program, and I hope that other parents with similar situations will now be able to take advantage of this scholarship to help pay for childcare.
