YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
In 2001, the Stanislaus
County Board of Directors evaluated and determined some of
the Stanislaus County PAL participants were not engaging in
other programs/activities that can enrich their childhood.
The main reason for this was due to lack of funding for many
of these families. With this in mind the Stanislaus County
PAL Board of Directors decided to create an annual
fundraiser that would raise funds for a youth scholarship
for PAL participants, field trips/special events at the
Stanislaus County PAL programs, and an Employee Educational
Scholarship.
Since the
inception of this program, it has provided many children
with opportunities to join/participate in soccer leagues,
football leagues, dance classes, BMX races, etc. In
addition, it has provided us the opportunity to take
children on special field trips such as: Marine World
Six-Flags, The Island Water park, Huntington Beach Play Day,
and many other special activities at the after school
programs.
Do you know a child that attends any Stanislaus County PAL
After School Program and needs a sponsor to participate in
any type of sports league, summer camps, education program,
etc.?
If so,
Stanislaus County PAL is offering YOUTH SCHOLARSHIPS for any
child that attends any Stanislaus County PAL After School
Program. This is a great opportunity especially for those
families going through financial hardship. Stanislaus
County PAL wants to help a well deserving child have a good
and fun summer by allowing him/her to participate in a
sports league, summer camp, or enrichment activity, etc.
This
program must NOT be mistaken as Leisure Bucks, but rather a
Stanislaus County PAL program which all applications are
evaluated based on need, and if the child is a Stanislaus
County PAL participant. This program is on a first come
first serve basis and award amounts will be based on cost of
activity applying and availability of funding.
Requirements:
Child must be a regular participant of a Stanislaus County
PAL After School Program. NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE!
A Youth Scholarship application must be submitted,
completed and with all required documents to the Stanislaus
County PAL office.
Parents note: An essay is required with
application and your child/pal participant must write essay
NOT the parents. Only exception to this rule is for children
in kindergarten or children with medical condition, which
will prevent them from writing essay themselves.
Printed documents or flyer listing registration information
from organization.
All
youth scholarship applications must be submitted or mailed
to the following address,
Stanislaus County PAL
C/O: Youth Scholarship
1325 Beverly Drive
Modesto, CA 95351
There is no
deadline to this program as it is offered year around to all
Stanislaus County PAL participants. However, this program
may close earlier than expected due to availability of
funds.
