ExplanationEmergency assistance programs: A Person-to-Person case worker assesses individual situations to determine appropriate action necessary to meet each client's needs. Disbursements of financial grants and/or food are based on specific criteria and financial need. Other programs include providing food assistance and gifts during the holiday season. These programs are carried out not only by the staff of Person-to-Person but also by many volunteers throughout the area as well. Camperships: All children considered for camperships live in low-income households in Stamford and are referred through their schools. Qualification for free or reduced-cost lunch program in the schools is a primary criteria for consideration. Scholarships: The Harriet T. McCorkle Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance for local students from low-income households who are applying to or who are already in college and need help with book and tuition payments. If eligible, students are required to apply for FAFSA, as well as other financial aid and work study, and are interviewed as part of the screening process. Grants are given in both semesters, and mentoring and budgeting support are provided.ExplanationTxt
