Scholarship Application
It is the mission of the YMCA to provide services for any person or family who desires to participate in the YMCA, regardless of the ability to pay the
standard membership or program fee. Every year the YMCA raises money to help scholarship youth and families through our Partners campaign.
Those not able to pay the full fee may be awarded assistance based on their demonstrated ability to pay. The YMCA reserves the right to refuse
assistance to any applicant.
To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants must work or reside in the YMCA of Greater Houston service area and meet household/yearly income
requirements. The YMCA believes 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. Scholarships are awarded for a one year period for all participating
programs at any YMCA of Greater Houston location.
Applicants will be notified once the application for scholarship has been reviewed.
To apply for a scholarship, please bring the following information to any YMCA Welcome Center.
1. Completed Scholarship Application
2. Most recent income tax return (this will be reviewed and returned to you)*
* If you do not file a tax return, call the IRS at (800) 829‐1040 or go to
in lieu of the tax return.
You will then need to provide additional proof of any income (i.e. child support, food stamps).
This application does not register the participant, nor does it reserve space in a YMCA program.
