The
City of Las Cruces Parks & Recreation Department is accepting applications
on an ongoing basis for the Youth Scholarship Program at its administrative
office, 1501 E. Hadley Ave. The period is for fiscal year 2020, which ends June
30, 2020.
Scholarships
are available to families with economic restrictions who are eligible to
receive financial assistance. The scholarship fund offers financial assistance
to youth who want to participate in recreational opportunities but may not have
the resources. Scholarship assistance is limited to existing funds on a
first-come, first-served basis. The scholarships are only available to Las
Cruces residents.
The
Youth Scholarship Fund is available to youths 17-years old or younger and can
be used to pay for a participant or activity fee for any one recreation program
for one season or session.
To qualify, participants must show proof of residency and financial need. For information about applying, call the Parks & Recreation Department at 575/541-2550. Applications are also available online at http://www.las-cruces.org/1586/Scholarships-for-Programs.
