Scholarships & Financial Support

We are committed to making preschool affordable for all families. Through state programs and local support, we offer multiple ways to reduce tuition costs.

Colorado Universal Preschool (UPK)

• Children who turn 4 by October 1 are eligible for 10–15 hours/week of free preschool through Colorado UPK.

• Families must apply through the state portal.

AVP Scholarships

• Thanks to generous donors and grant funding, we offer need-based scholarships to families.

• Scholarships may cover a portion of tuition beyond what UPK provides.

• Applications are reviewed confidentially, and awards are based on available funding.

Micro-Scholarships

• Community supporters sponsor small monthly tuition offsets (e.g., $50–$100 per month).

• These add up to meaningful support for families while connecting the broader community to our mission.

Other Supports

• We accept Child Care Assistance Program (CCCAP) subsidies for qualifying families.

• Families can also apply for tuition support through specific grant-funded opportunities, announced each year.

Our Commitment

We never want tuition to be the reason a child cannot attend AVP. If cost feels like a barrier, please reach out — together, we’ll explore every option to support your family.
