Financial Aid Application

YMCA programs are open to everyone, and in these hard economic times this is more important than ever.  Through generous community donations and government partnerships the YMCA is able to provide partial and full scholarships for many of our program participants.  The YMCA also offers a reduced rate for families enrolling two or more children in one of our child care programs.  All families deserve to have quality afterschool care – fill out an application today.   

In order to ensure that all applicants receive equal consideration we ask that all financial aid applications are received no later than August 1st.  Applications received after this date will be considered on a case by case basis as remaining funds permit.
