Summer Center Scholarships

Scholarship applications are available via MyClubHub at the time of registration and are due by Friday March 15, 2024 to be considered for a scholarship. Please note that not all families that apply will be granted a scholarship, and that scholarships will not likely cover the entirety of the summer or the entirety of a session. We have many families that need financial assistance and limited funding to provide. 

 

Please contact your Club's Unit Director with any questions about scholarships.
