Subsidies:
BSCCC accepts vouchers from the Erie County Department of Social Services (DSS) and the Workforce Development Institution (WDI). We also partner with Buffalo State to provide Block Grant scholarships to SUNY students.
The Block Grant scholarship is offered to student parents who require financial assistance. Weekly rates through Block Grant are based on family size and family income. Scholarship funding is contingent on SUNY funding and may be subject to change throughout the year. If you have any questions, please contact the Center's business manager, Neve Kaplan, at kaplanns@buffalostate.edu.
Families seeking extra days or time than provided with their subsidy are subject to normal tuition rates and policies. Discuss any needs for extra days/time with the Director or Business Manager to ensure there is space for your child and your tuition is billed correctly.
