Thanks to the generosity of our activity providers, families can get  financial assistance to make their fees as little as $20 per week or  session. 

Applicants who meet the financial eligibility criteria  will be matched with participating online activity providers who are  offering scholarship spots. Actual hours may vary.

To qualify for the Scholarship Program, families must:

Complete the scholarship application (one per child).

Be flexible with dates.

Be  able to verify income with your free/reduced lunch eligibility letter,  unemployment or copy of tax return. This information will be kept  confidential and will only be used only in determining financial  eligibility.

Be able to pay at least $20 per week of camp or class  session, depending on your household income, household size and the  program price.

Next review date is August 1.  Applicants  who have submitted a complete application, including their income  verification documents, will be reviewed by that date to be considered  for a scholarship.

If we are able to offer your family a scholarship spot, you will receive  an email with your next step instructions. You must confirm the spot  within 5 days by completing payment for your family contribution. If  payment for the scholarship spot has not been made before the specified  deadline, the spot will be offered to another applicant.
