Scholarships

Apply for KY YMCA Need-Based Scholarship

The Kentucky YMCA Youth Association is a not-for-profit organization committed to ensuring access to our programs to all interested students. Scholarships (formerly known as financial aid) for KY YMCA programming are available.

  • In order to be considered for a scholarship, a student and their parent or guardian must fully complete and submit the Scholarship Application.
  • Scholarship applications will close two weeks before the conference registration deadline the student is attending (exact dates can be found on the KYA home page or the KYA Registration page).
  • The Board of Directors of the Kentucky YMCA has designated contributed funds to ensure those unable to pay the stated fees are able to participate in the wide range of teen programs offered by this Association.
  • Need-Based Scholarship applications may take up to 10 business days to process.
  • NBS applications should be submitted and processed prior to registration submission. Schools will need to request invoice edits if processed after their submission for KYA and KUNA conferences; if not requested it will not apply to the overall invoice and the cost to the student.
  • No refunds/invoice changes are available for scholarships processed after the payment deadline (KYA/KUNA) or individual registration has been submitted (GFI/LTC).
  • All information on this form is strictly confidential.
  • You may have to start by looking yourself up in your old school, that’s okay, you can change it later.
  • Do not use Google Autofill, it doesn’t save properly (especially phone numbers) and often overwrites your information with the owner of computer’s information.

Important: Whenever you apply and receive a Scholarship this school year, you do NOT need to re-apply for any subsequent programs, such as GFI, KUNA, or LTC. You may use the award amount you received for all of your program registrations. If you have questions about how to apply your scholarship, please reach out to danielle@kyymca.org.
