Head Start Financial Assistance

Geminus Head Start believes it is critical to provide all students with opportunities to succeed. Every child should be able to attend school, regardless of their situation or socio-economic status. Priority enrollment is given to children receiving SNAP, SSI, or TANF, and those in foster care or experiencing housing instability. Verification of this status will be needed at time of enrollment.

Documents needed:

• Copy of child’s birth certificate
• Proof of income for the last 12 months  
  • or SNAP, SSI, TANF benefits letter
  • or fostercare/guardianship paperwork
• State-issued photo identification
• Physical with immunization records
