Student Schlarships

Outdoor School provides Parkway 6th grade students with an immersive, hands-on learning experience that encourages personal growth, teamwork, and a deeper appreciation for the world around them. For many students, this experience becomes a defining moment in their educational journey.

The Cerutti Family Foundation offers scholarships to support students and families who may not be able to afford the cost of Outdoor School. Without this support, families may be responsible for student “loan” balances associated with the program, which, if unpaid, can create ongoing financial obligations that may follow students through graduation.

Through the generosity of our donors, we help remove these financial barriers and ensure that students can participate without added stress or long-term financial impact. 100% of all donations to the Cerutti Family Foundation go directly toward teacher and student scholarships and are distributed based on need, allowing us to make a meaningful and immediate difference.

Give today and help ensure every student can attend Outdoor School.
