Did you know, the Greater Peoria Family YMCA also offers donor-funded scholarships for membership and programs, to insure that money is not a barrier to healthy living.
All reduced membership and program rates will be based upon the household income and size of the family. A sliding scale is used to determine membership fees for adults and children. Qualifying applicants will receive additional program scholarships. Members must reapply annually.
If you are living on a fixed or limited income, your Y membership and programs fees may cost you less through the Y’s Scholarship program. Scholarships are determined on level of income, family size, and circumstances. It’s easy to apply for a scholarship. Before signing up for a membership or registering for a program, simply download or ask at the Membership Desk for an application. Once the application has been submitted it will be reviewed. All scholarships will remain confidential. Scholarships are awarded on a sliding fee scale. Our staff is sensitive to issues and needs and they address each one with a personal and caring approach.
Completed applications can be sent to Kennedy Banks at kennedy.banks@peoriaymca.org or fax at 309.692.4892.
The following documents must accompany your application to verify financial need:
A. Employment check stubs or other proof of current salary, and previous year’s tax return. For example: a completed 1040 form from the previous year OR click here for how to obtain a non-filing letter.
