If your household is currently Direct Certified by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, please complete the waiver form and indicate your status. Please send the completed form to: dlowell@ashland.k12.ma.us, so we can verify your eligibility.
To qualify for a Waiver of Preschool Financial Assistance with Tuition, you will need to be receiving SNAP Benefits and/or TAFDC assistance from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
