Recreation Scholarships

We've recently expanded our Scholarship program!  The program can now be used for ALL Admission and membership passes, including one-month, three-month, and six-month memberships.  It can also be applied toward any individual registration for athletic programs we offer, such as Co-ed Hockey, and staff managed programs at Jay Lively, e.g. Sticks and Pucks, Open Hockey, etc..

Recreation Services offers Scholarships, depending on availability of funding.  Scholarships are for individual use and can be requested for City of Flagstaff programs and activities.  Applicant’s household must meet income guidelines and provide City of Flagstaff residency to qualify for a scholarship.  Interested applicants should complete a Recreation Scholarship Application and submit it for consideration at least five days before the beginning of the activity.  Scholarships aren’t applied to the cost of training books and materials, participants pay full price for those items. Scholarships don’t apply to Contracted Instructor classes.  Recreation scholarship applications are available at any of our recreation centers.
