Scholarships are available for the following recreational programs:

• Youth before and after school programs, and city operated full day recreation programs (i.e. Summer Youth Recreation Program, etc.) 
• Fitness and/or Leisure education classes. Lessons and senior social activities will be limited to two per person per fiscal quarter (July 1-Sept 30, Oct 1-Dec 31, Jan 1-Mar 31, Apr 1-June 30);
