Apply for Tuition Assistance

Thanks to the generosity of alumni, parents and friends, each year the Camping and Education Foundation is able to offer tuition assistance to young men and women who might otherwise be unable to attend Ogichi Daa Kwe and Camp Kooch-i-ching. While financial need is a primary basis for awarding this assistance we are also interested in bringing young women and men of unusual promise and outstanding character to our two camps.

The Camping and Education Foundation strives to provide access to Ogichi Daa Kwe and Camp Kooch-i-ching to a broad range of campers. We encourage families who feel they may need financial help to apply for tuition assistance. Tuition assistance is mostly need-based and typically ranges from 20 percent to 40 percent of the base tuition. Awards are determined by the Tuition Assistance Committee and are based on funds available in relation to the total number of requests per year.


Steps for applying for Tuition Assistance

  1. Obtain both the appropriate Camper Application and a Tuition Assistance Request Form.
    ➢ Both can be downloaded from the camp websites or you may request one by calling the Cincinnati Office (513) 772-7479.
  2. Complete the appropriate Camper Application for the current season.
    ➢ You will NOT send a deposit in with the application.
  3. Fully complete the Tuition Assistance Request form.
    ➢ Tuition assistance is available for the LDAC, Chickadee, and regular Ogichi and Kooch camper programs. It is not available for the Ogichi short session trips, College, Women's or Men's trips.
  4. After completing the Camper Application and Tuition Assistance Request Form, mail these two forms together to the Cincinnati office.
  5. A camp official will notify you after the Tuition Assistance Committee has evaluated your application.
