Parent Service Hours

In order to keep costs down and provide assistance to the teachers and staff, GCDC asks families to volunteer for tasks and engagement opportunities throughout the year. The volunteer hours provide parents the opportunity to help their child’s class, as well as interact with the students and teachers in their classroom.

All enrolled families must complete 4 hours during the first semester (August-December), 4 hours during the second semester (January-June) and 2 hours during the summer (June-August).  GCDC charges $25 per unmet service hour.

Payment Options

All families must enroll pay tuition through automatic debit or credit card. Tuition Express is a payment method used by our school. It allows parents to pay via automatic withdrawal.​  Tuition Express Forms must be submitted to the Business Manager. (Tuition Express charges a $25.00, per transaction, fee to use your credit card.)

NASA GCDC Association Scholarships

Contingent upon funding, a limited number of scholarships are available to enrolled families. These are income-based scholarships. Funding for these scholarships comes from Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) funds pledged to the GCDC and from private contributions. Members not eligible for assistance based on the salary guidelines may still apply if there are extenuating circumstances that warrant consideration. These applications will be considered based on the availability of funds.

The Scholarship Policy and Forms are available in the GCDC Admin office. Applications can be submitted at any time and should be given directly to the Scholarship Committee. The GCDC Director will respond to inquiries about scholarships.
