Financial Aid

In 2008, the Rye Y awarded over $142,000 in financial aid.

The Rye YMCA offers financial assistance to anyone who cannot afford to become a member or participate in programs. This is made possible by the support of our donors and the Y's fundraising efforts held throughout the year.

If you are in need of financial assistance for the year 2009 (Jan - Dec), please print and fill out the financial assistance application (pdf) and return as soon as possible. (Remember, you must submit all necessary documentation – 2008 income tax return, 2008 W-2, and copies of your current pay stubs – for the past month, in order for your application to be reviewed.) 

Return the Financial Assistance Application along with all required information to:

Barbara Hughes
Director of Membership Services
Rye YMCA
21 Locust Avenue
Rye, NY  10580

This application takes 4-8 weeks to process after application and documentation information is completely submitted.  Once a decision has been reached, you will receive a letter by mail outlining the decision on financial aid. If all information requested is not submitted, we will not be able to grant financial aid to you or your family. 

Our Financial Assistance program is offered on a calendar year basis, therefore after January 1 of each year your scholarship will be prorated to cover any needs through December 31 of that year. You must reapply annually to be eligible for further financial aid. Click here to download our 2009 Financial Aid Policy. (pdf)

If you have any questions, please call 914-967-6363.

Thank you.
