Some Citrus County students may have a chance to get some help with their education.

The Spot Family Center of Crystal River helps students with classwork, provides outdoor fun, and offers computer lab space.

There are now 10 scholarships available for an after school enrichment program through the center that serves students in kindergarten through 7th grade.

The program runs the entire school year, on Mondays through Fridays from 3-6 p.m.  On scheduled early dismissal days, the hours are 12:30-6 p.m. Bus transportation is available from Crystal River Primary and Middle schools to the center.

Scholarships are first-come first-serve to local families who qualify. That includes families who receive free or reduced lunch.

Applications for the scholarships can be picked up at the Spot Family Center's headquarters, which is located at 405 S.E. Seventh Avenue in Crystal River. 

Applications must be completed and returned with proof of free or reduced lunch to the center.

Call (352) 794-3870 to apply.
