Scholarship Information: June 1st Deadline!
The scholarship committee looks at multiple factors in determining the scholarship calculations. We do not have a maximum income policy at this time rather we look at all of the other factors that the family shares to get a total picture of a need.
When in doubt whether if you qualify or not, just apply for a scholarship anyway and the committee will review all applications and available scholarship funds to make a determination. Recipients will be awarded up to $500 for one week of camp tuition per child, per family. Apply here!
We ask that families who are interested in scholarships register their child for the amount of camp weeks they want online and pay all of the registration fees. Also, complete a scholarship application and send it to our office with the supplementary documentation required. We review each application for scholarship and then contact the families by email about the award. If awarded a CYY Scholarship, it is important to note that providing written thank you’s to the donor is required and is also an excellent social skill for campers to practice. Our office handles tracking and distribution of thank you notes to donors or written testimonials to foundations providing scholarship funds
If a family registers for camp and pays the registration fee, then applies for the scholarship and is not allocated enough/is not able to raise the remaining tuition cost, we will refund all tuition paid, including the registration fee.
