Information & Policies

Sponsor-A-Child Scholarships Available

Did you know that over 30% of children in the Litchfield School District qualify for free or reduced lunch rates?

Litchfield Community Education & Recreation receives donations from generous individuals and businesses in our community to provide scholarships for youth activities, helping to offset the cost. Scholarships are based on income eligibility. We use the same guidelines as the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. Free and Reduced rate eligibility is based on family income requirements set by the state of Minnesota in relation to national poverty guidelines. As you can imagine, families that are strained financially, eliminate items like recreation and enrichment opportunities that are nonessential. Funds remain in place until all dollars are utilized. Contact our office for more information and to determine eligibility.

Check Return Policy

Checks returned for insufficient funds, stop payment or account closed will be subject to a $30.00 service charge. Payee will be notified upon receipt of NSF notice to our office. If there has been no attempt to contact our office after two weeks, information will be turned over to a collection agency.
