Paul and Edna Lewis Scholarship

A scholarship has been established in honor of Paul and Edna Lewis. They were very instrumental in the original establishment of the Children's Discovery Center in 1976 and guided its development in those early years of growth. It is designed to help parents who are in need of financial assistance in providing for a preschool program for their child. Scholarship assistance may be applied for by contacting the Director or the Administrative Bookkeeper. All inquiries and assistance are kept strictly confidential.
