Extended Spring/Summer Activity Scholarship Program
Now Accepting Applications!
 

The Fairbanks Families Partnership and the Resource Center for Parents and Children are pleased to announce an extension of the Spring/Summer Activity Scholarship Program.  A limited amount of funds are available for children ages 0-8 to participate in activities of a family’s choice, including but not limited to: indoor/outdoor organized sports programs; indoor/outdoor play spaces and programs; dance, swimming, gymnastics or other classes; and summer camps/organized activities.

 Guidelines for this program are as follows:

  •  Scholarships are available on a first come, first serve basis. So apply early!
  • If your child received a scholarship during the Winter Activity Scholarship Program or first round of the Spring/Summer Activity Scholarship Program, he/she is not eligible to receive a scholarship in this round.
  •  Maximum scholarship amount is $100.
  • If your family or child qualifies for a state or federal aid program, such as WIC, Denali Kid Care, food stamps, or child care assistance, your child’s scholarship will cover 90% of the total cost of the activity, up to $100.  Documentation of participation in such programs must be included with your application.
  •  If your family or child does not qualify for any state or federal aid programs, your child’s scholarship will cover 50% of the total cost of the activity, up to $100.
  •  Scholarships are available only for children 0-8 years of age.
