Youth Scholarship Program

We believe every child should have the chance to play, learn, and grow—regardless of income. That’s why, thanks to the generous support of the City of Santa Cruz Children’s Fund, Omega Nu, the J.R. Scott Memorial Fund, and the Emily & Ryan Coonerty Family Fund, we awarded over $37,000 in scholarships to more than 100 local kids last year! Scholarships are available year-round for low-income Santa Cruz city residents. Here’s when to apply:

• Fall: Applications open in July, awards in August
• Winter–Spring: Apply in December, awards in January
• Summer: Apply in March, awards in April
