Free lunch Students - $150 per student. In order to seek financial assistance, follow these steps: 1. Register here. 2. Select the appropriate box that indicates you child receives free or reduced lunch on the main profile page. 3.

Historically, FLASH has awarded scholarships to all eligible applicants. However, if a surge in scholarship requests occurs, a lottery system may be implemented to fairly distribute scholarships. Priority will go to applicants that finished the registration process prior to April 30.
Sports Academy now offers a discounted rate for free/reduced lunch students. Student who receive free/reduced lunch may request a 50% discount on Sports Academy courses.
DONATIONS
FLASH is a tuition-based program funded by tuition income only. In the past, many members of the community have provided funding for scholarships for Summit children who were unable to afford tuition costs for this program. In an effort to continue to offer scholarships to as many children as possible, we are again turning to our generous community members for sources of funding.
Tuition for one child to attend the 4-week program is $750.00 - your tax-deductible contribution in any amount will be proudly recognized during our Closing Ceremony.
Please make checks payable to: Summit Board of Education
