Financial Aid
Scholarships
At DREAM, we believe financial circumstances should never be a barrier to experiencing the benefits of outdoor recreation. Our scholarship program provides financial assistance to help individuals with disabilities and their families access our year-round adaptive recreation opportunities.
Scholarship deadlines, policies and how to apply.
Through generous community support, DREAM subsidizes program costs to keep participation affordable. For those needing additional assistance, partial and full scholarships are available based on financial need.
Scholarship awards are not guaranteed, even if assistance has been received in the past. We encourage families to contribute what they can, helping us extend financial assistance to as many participants as possible.
Applicants will be notified of their scholarship status before their first scheduled lesson or program. Applications are accepted after the priority deadlines, but preference is given to those submitted on time.
