This is a new program, so applications will not be taken until we have funds available to consider the applications. We are excited to be a part of this.
The Youth Activity Scholarship provides financial assistance for children and teens whose families are experiencing financial hardship. Our desire is to remove barriers so every young person has the opportunity to grow, explore their gifts, and participate in activities that build confidence, character, leadership and community.
Scholarships may support sports, music, art, camps, school programs, leadership programs, drama, and other enrichment opportunities that contribute to a child’s development. Each application is reviewed with prayer, compassion, and confidentiality as we partner with families to ensure every child has the chance to thrive.
