The Carmichael Parks Foundation offers two types of youth scholarships to help local youth participate in Carmichael Recreation and Park District programs,  sports, leagues, camps, and classes. 

Both scholarship opportunities provide a partial reduction in program fees. District residents receive a 50% reduction, while non-district residents receive a 30% reduction.

Below, you’ll find information about each scholarship, including eligibility requirements. Select the scholarship that best fits your situation and complete the simple online application. Once your application is submitted, a Carmichael Recreation and Park District Customer Service Representative will contact you with your application status and information about next steps.
