Financial Scholarships
Everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of personal achievement and connection you find at the Y. That’s why we are committed to ensuring that, based on the availability of funds, no one who qualifies for a Financial Scholarship is turned away due to the inability to pay. Our Financial Scholarship Program removes the financial barriers to membership and program participation for anyone who qualifies – regardless of age, stage or circumstance of life, or background.
