Program Scholarships

The funds available for scholarships are made possible through a grant from the Hormel Foundation. We believe a strong sense of ownership and pride is developed if the recipient has contributed to the cost of their YMCA involvement; therefore, applicants will be asked to pay some portion of the fees (a maximum of 20% discount for school aged care, a maximum of 50% discount for life skills and youth sports). To apply, click here.

If you have already been granted a scholarship, they will automatically be applied to future programming through the end of your scholarship period.
