The YMCA believes in providing membership and program services to all who desire to participate in the YMCA. If you are interested in making the YMCA a part of your life but feel you cannot afford the regular rates, you may be awarded a partial scholarship of assistance. The scholarship program, supported in part through contributions to the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, provides membership and program scholarships for those in need within our available resources. Scholarships are granted on a sliding fee basis, using your household gross monthly income and household size as a guideline.
How to Apply
In order for us to process your application, you must complete the confidential form included. Please submit copies (NO originals) of the following documents:
• Required: Copy of most recent tax return/W2/1099 forms OR ‘Taxes not filed’ letter from IRS
• Required: Copy of two recent payroll stubs OR Copy of unemployment check stubs
• If Applicable: Verification of any other assistance received, like food stamps, child support, housing assistance
• If Applicable: Social Security income verification (tax return not required).
After all paperwork has been submitted, we will set up an initial appointment to meet with you to discuss your qualifications. The meeting will last between 15-30 minutes.
Selection Process
Eligibility for financial assistance will be determined by the appropriate staff, based on a thorough review of the application and a personal interview with the applicant. The length of program assistance will be reviewed every three to nine months, not exceeding twelve months. You will be asked to complete a new scholarship assistance form for all renewals. Failure to report any form of income may result in the termination or delay of scholarship assistance from the YMCA. The YMCA of the Fox Cities reserves the right to refuse assistance to any applicant.
The YMCA of the Fox Cities reserves the right to accept only qualifying applicants.
