Scholarships

The San Francisco Recreations and Park department offers assistance to eligible San Francisco residents through our Recreation Scholarship Fund. Eligibility in our Scholarship Program entitles qualifying residents to at least a 50% discount and as much as 100% off program registration. Families can enroll by meeting income level restrictions or by submitting documentation of enrollment in other subsidized programs.

Scholarships are offered to all* of our programs, including Cultural Arts Programs; Community Service Programs such as Tiny Tots; Athletics Programs such as Girls Sports, and Leisure Services Programs such as Aquatics or Outdoor Recreation.

Recreation and Parks is grateful for the tremendous support of Mayor London Breed, the Recreation and Parks Commission, the San Francisco Parks Trust and our many other friends for enabling us to offer access to all San Franciscans to our recreation activities through the Recreation Scholarship Program. 

No applicant will be turned away for lack of funds.

* The Harvey Milk Photo Center’s classes are covered by the scholarship program, but Photo Center memberships are NOT covered by the scholarship program.
