Raising Riley Child Care Scholarship Application
What is a Raising Riley scholarship?
Through the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund’s Early Childhood Block Grant, the Raising Riley program (RR) has an opportunity to improve the affordability of child care. The scholarship program allows parents/guardians that live, work or attend school in Manhattan/Riley County the opportunity to receive financial assistance for child care if the preschool/daycare provider accepts RR funds. Raising Riley and the Riley County Health Department do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, gender, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, religion and marital or family status. All information contained in this application is strictly confidential.
How to find child care:
✔ If you currently have licensed child care, ask your provider if they are willing to participate in Raising Riley
✔ If you are looking for child care, visit www.raisingriley.com and check out the scholarship tab for links.
To be considered for a scholarship you must meet at least one of these risk-factors:

If your child receives other financial assistance for child care, for example, any payments from DCF assistance, military child care assistance, discounts by providers, etc. those must be reported.
Temporary Scholarship Award: A temporary scholarship may be awarded for child care during the job search process. This award will be for a one month period. At the conclusion of the one month period application will be reviewed with the family.
Emergency Scholarship Award: A temporary scholarship may be awarded for child care during a family crisis. Each situation will be addressed individually.
