YMCA Scholarship

Scholarship Application

All YMCA members receive the same membership benefits, regardless of whether or not they are receiving assistance. YMCA members can feel great knowing that they are involved in an organization that cares for the health and well being of people. We are committed to promoting our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

The scholarship program utilizes a sliding fee scale that is designed to fit each individual’s financial situation. The YMCA believes a strong sense of ownership and pride is developed if the recipient has contributed to the cost of their YMCA involvement; therefore you will be asked to pay some portion of the fees.

As much as we would like to provide each applicant with assistance, our Annual Strong Families Campaign Fund is limited. As a result, funds may be occasionally unavailable, and only to those who demonstrate the greatest need will qualify. Not every applicant will receive a scholarship.

The application requests information, which will help us assess your need for financial assistance. PLEASE READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETE THIS APPLICATION IN FULL AND TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE. Government or quasi-governmental organizations may provide funding to the YMCA related to our scholarship assistance program. We will share your application with these organizations should they request it. The YMCA also requires that individuals supply additional information and/or re-apply for scholarship when requested to do so.
