Kindergarten -8th grade Scholarships

The K-8 Tuition Scholarship application and instructions for 2025-2026 will be available beginning on January 17, 2025. The submission deadline for the application with all accompanying materials is on or before April 3, 2025.

Overview

High quality education from an early age is a benefit throughout the school years and throughout life. Sometimes the best placement for a child is in a tuition-based school. Often the cost of private education is out of reach for families.

The Leon N. Weiner Education Foundation (LNWEF) provides up to $5000 per year in tuition for a child, residing in a Leon N. Weiner & Associates owned or Arbor Management, LLC managed property located in Delaware, to attend grades Kindergarten through 8th. The K-8 School Tuition scholarship is disbursed directly to the school on the awardee’s behalf. Scholarships are not automatically renewed. Subsequent year applications will be strongly considered.

Eligibility

U.S. citizen or legal resident of the U.S.
Resident in good standing* of a property owned/managed by LNWA in Delaware
