Scholarships

Carbon Valley Parks and Recreation Scholarship Program

Carbon Valley Parks and Recreation District’s (CVPRD) scholarship program was designed to help make recreation services more accessible to community members who may not have the opportunity to participate due to financial limitations.

  • Scholarships are limited to a maximum of $100 per household, per calendar year and must be used by December 31 of the year scholarship funds are received. Recipients are required to pay any fees above the $100 maximum household scholarship amount.
  • Scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis until all scholarship funds are exhausted.
  • Individuals may only receive the amount of funds needed for registration for a specific class or program.
  • Applicants requesting financial assistance through the CVPRD scholarship program must show proof of residency and financial need.
  • Failure to attend a program paid for by a scholarship or failure to follow program or facility rules may result in the loss of future financial assistance.
  • Submittal of an application does not guarantee a scholarship.
  • Scholarships are not retroactive.

Programs Not Eligible for Scholarships

  • Individual programs such as private swim lessons, massage, personal training, etc.
  • Contractual programs such as dance and karate.
  • Recreation center membership passes (except 20 punch passes) and drop-in admission.
