Scholarship Policy
Who is eligible?
Financial assistance is for Caroline County Department of
Recreation & Parks programs and only Caroline County residents
are eligible to apply. The applicant must
provide a copy of one of the following: their most recent
Federal tax form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ or Social Security Income
Statement, an Independence Card, a WIC card for the
participant/family and/or proof of Section 8 Public Housing
Assistance. Pay stubs and W2's are not acceptable.
Immediately following approval all verification paperwork
will be shredded.
How does the program work?
The amount of assistance for recreation programs your family
receives is based on the number of dependents and annual
income level. A co-payment of 20% is required for all programs
at the time of registration.
Scholarships are limited to one per person, per season (maximum
of 4 a year) and some restrictions do apply. For self-supporting
programs the service must meet its minimum registration levels,
which are defined internally for every program, before
scholarship availability is an option.
Requirements and Exceptions
Financial assistance is available for most Department programs,
with some exceptions. Scholarships are not available for Trips,
Gift Certificates, One Time Admissions, Amusement Park Tickets
Sales and programs costing less than $15.
In addition the department does not supply scholarships for
programs sponsored by other organizations, but that may be
affiliated in some way with the department (i.e. CCYSA Soccer,
Little League etc.). These organizations may provide their
own discounts or family rates.
To locate your league representatives visit our
About Us page for a complete listing.
A co-pay of 20% of the total program fee is required at the
time of registration.
How to apply?
You may apply for financial assistance at any time. We
encourage you to apply early in order to avoid delays at the
time of registration. To apply you must provide a completed
