Despite rising costs to run our operations, the Y is committed to helping provide healthy spirit, mind, and body for all by providing scholarship assistance to as many as possible. Our Experience Scholarship Program is funded by the generosity of the community. To be the very best stewards of these precious resources, the YMCA takes every measure possible to scholarship funding accurately, ensure that it’s allocated responsibly and ensure that it remains available all year-round. Experience Scholarship rates provided are the very best possible within the programs guidelines. More specifically, the Y will never offer a rate that is not the best possible award for each application.

We appreciate your patience as we work to process applications as efficiently as possible. Thank you!

Applications can be submitted the 1st through the 20th of each month. We want to uphold our commitment to you in processing your completed application within 15 business days. To do this, we accept new applications within this timeframe to allow us to focus on processing completed applications.
