The PTO provides financial assistance so that cost is never a barrier to your student participating in paid PTO or school-related events and activities.
This request may be submitted by a parent/caregiver on behalf of their student, or by a teacher who is aware a student may need assistance.
Please complete the brief questionnaire to submit a request. Applications are reviewed by the CSPES Principal and the current PTO Treasurer and President, as needed.
Confidentiality: All requests are treated with discretion and respect. No other PTO Board members, caregivers, teachers, staff, or students will know that a student has applied for or received assistance — unless a caregiver contacts the PTO directly or gives consent for that information to be shared.
What Tiger Funds can help cover, for an individual student's participation:
Field trip fees for that individual student
PTO membership fees
Costs for that individual student to attend a school-related or PTO-led event or activity
Note: The Tiger Fund is specifically for individual student participation costs. If you're a teacher or staff member requesting funds for classroom supplies, a whole-class field trip, or another school-related need, please use the CSPES Teacher/Staff PTO Purchase Request Form instead.
Assistance amounts are based on current PTO budget and resource availability. Families who are able to cover a portion of the cost are encouraged to "pay what they can," with the Tiger Fund helping cover the remainder.
Thank you!
