Scholarships and Grants
The Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin-Fox Cities Member Grant/Scholarship Programs provide financial support for "supported families" of
DSAW-Fox Cities to help offset costs of Conferences, training events or other educational programs. Additionally, the fund is available to assist in
helping offset some of the cost of a service or item that can benefit the quality of life and development of a person with Down syndrome.
“DSAW-Fox Cities’ supported family” is defined as the immediate family/guardian of an individual with Down syndrome that is currently listed on the DSAW-Fox Cities database and residing in Outagamie, Winnebago, or Calumet County. If a family resides outside of these three counties and is not already a supported family of another DSAW chapter, this family must be actively participating (attending DSAW-Fox Cities social events, fundraising for DSAW-Fox Cities, and/or active on the DSAW-Fox Cities Google email group) to be considered a supported family.
