    The YMCA will provide a Y Experience Scholarship to anyone desiring to participate in Child Care programs, based on established guidelines and to the extent that resources allow. We depend on donations and volunteers to support our services.  The Y is open to all, regardless of gender, race, age, background, income, or physical or mental ability. 

     

    Anyone is eligible to apply for a scholarship.  Awards are made on the basis of demonstrated financial need based on our guidelines. Scholarships are granted for a defined time period, typically three to 12 months. Recipients are notified to submit updated information and documentation for review and renewal at least four weeks prior to the financial assistance expiration date. Failure to respond to a renewal notice and complete a review by the expiration date will result in a restoration of standard Child Care rates.
