Scholarships

Bloom is very unique: we have a true passion to nurture each child and a literal mission to make it affordable. Up to half of our capacity is dedicated to children needing tuition assistance. Assistance can be provided from within Bloom (through our own Shirley Robinson Scholarship fund) or outside Bloom from sources such as County Child Care Assistance Program, State scholarships, Caring for Kids and others.

Our Shirley Robinson Scholarship Fund is named after the wife of Messiah’s pastor who originally challenged his congregation to help break the circle of poverty through the provision of high quality, affordable early learning and childcare. Shirley was dedicated to children and the community.

The scholarship fund relies on gifts from individual donors, businesses, faith communities and civic organizations, as well as fundraising events and grants. Each year we must raise over $350,000 to provide the tuition assistance these children need to attend our center.

Shirley Robinson Scholarships:

To qualify, your family must:

  • either be registered in the Basic Sliding Fee (BSF)* for childcare assistance program or have a recent letter of acceptance into the program. The letter must be generated from the Minnesota county in which you reside, which places you on the waiting list for the BSF childcare assistance fund.
  • remain current with BSF childcare assistance fund review process.
  • report changes in household income and BSF status to the Bloom Early Learning & Child Care Directors as they occur.
  • report when BSF waiting list status changes to active assistance.

PLEASE NOTE: Denial of county assistance does not mean you are ineligible for this scholarship, but you must apply. Contact us for more details.

To apply for a Bloom scholarship or get additional information on other forms of tuition assistance, please call the Bloom offices at 763-449-0600.

Bloom does not discriminate against any family due to race, gender, marital status, public assistance  status or religious affiliation.

*BASIC SLIDING FEE (BSF) GUIDELINES AS SET FORTH BY THE STATE OF MINNESOTA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN CHILDCARE EXPENSES, ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH RESOURCES FOR CHILD CARING.  PHONE NUMBER: 651-641-0305

QUOTE

Due to extenuating circumstances, I had to take an extended maternity leave and therefore lost my financial security. With my significant other in college, a school age child, and an infant I was very concerned about being able to provide the bare necessities for my family.  Through the help of Bloom, I was able to obtain the scholarship we needed to have child care for our infant daughter so I could get back to work.  This has been such a blessing to our family.  Not only am I able to return to work, but I know that my daughter is in great hands.

A passion to nurture each child, a mission to make it affordable.
