Financial Assistance
At the Y, no one is turned away due to inability to pay. That is one of the many reasons that makes the Y unique. We are dedicated to making the Y accessible to all, giving everyone the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. We provide direct financial assistance for those in need by using an income-based sliding fee scale. Funding for this program is through the generosity of our YMCA's Annual Campaign donors and proceeds from special fundraising events. The Y's Financial Assistance program is available to anyone who meets the guidelines of the program.
Scholarship Calculator
If you are interested to see if you may qualify for financial assistance, then you may complete the form in our Scholarship Calculator. This is used to give you an idea of what you may be eligible for, but completing our application process, verification of income and talking with our specialist is required to complete the application process. Based on those discussions, scholarship percentages calculated on the website may differ.
