SCHOLARSHIPS
Here at the WORTHINGTON AREA YMCA, we award scholarships ranging from 20-60% off the membership rate, and 25-50% off the cost of qualified programs. Scholarships reduce fees, but do not eliminate them.
The Y believes a strong sense of ownership and pride is developed when our scholarship recipients contribute to the cost of their YMCA involvement. Awards are good for up to one year, at which time your membership will automatically terminate. If you would like to continue at the end of your time, you will need to complete this scholarship process again.
Please do not register for programs prior to your scholarship application being approved. The YMCA will not apply financial assistance to past registrations or memberships. After an application has been approved, assistance can be applied to all relevant memberships and programs moving forward through the expiration date.
Your fees are subject to increase, including when you reapply. If you do not reapply when requested, your enrollment will be terminated.
All YMCA members receive the same membership benefits, regardless of assistance qualification. YMCA members can feel great knowing that they are involved in an organization that cares greatly for the health and well-being of people and is committed to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.
