Early learning scholarships can help with activity fee costs, prices not covered by maximum rates, and breaks in authorization or additional hours of attendance not paid by childcare assistance.

Interested families should contact Cook County’s scholarship administrator, which is the Northland Foundation: 1-800-433- 4045 or 218-260-2736, info@northlandfdn.org www.northlandfdn.org/els.
