Youth Recreational Scholarships

Did you know studies prove participation in recreation programs not only helps keep kids active while improving motor skills, it also improves self-awareness, goal setting and conflict resolutions skills, and helps participants learn to make better choices?

​

Each year, the Loveland Parks and Recreation Foundation receives
more than 200 requests for scholarship assistance so that low-income or at-risk youth right here in Loveland can participate in recreational programming. 

​

Our goal is to accommodate all scholarship requests (based on income requirements) so that every child has the opportunity to participate in recreation activities, regardless of family financial barriers.

​

Our hope is that we can help minimize the barriers these youth experience due to family financial constraints.  Participation in recreational programming can offer participants a temporary release from their problems and a chance to learn teamwork while also developing self-confidence and other skills that prove critical as they transition into adulthood.

​​

Scholarship applications need to process through one of our referral partners.  Please see the list below.

​

Recreation activities can range from swimming, basketball, soccer and flag football to dance, arts & crafts and gymnastics classes.
