The City of Woodbury has a scholarship program to assist Woodbury residents with financial needs relating to recreation group classes. Program scholarships are available to current Woodbury residents who are eligible for the school district's free or reduced lunches or meet income limitations. Scholarships for recreation programs are available for programs with a fee of $11 or more (some programs excluded). There is a $150 annual limit of scholarship dollars for each eligible applicant. A completed program scholarship application and a copy of the eligibility letter, issued by the school district for free or reduced lunches, are required.

If an applicant is not eligible under the free or reduced lunch guidelines used by the school district or is not of school age, the applicant will be required to provide a copy of their last federal filed tax return along with a completed application. The same income and household guidelines used to determine eligibility for free and reduced lunches will be followed to determine eligibility for program scholarships.

To apply for the current year's program, complete the Program Scholarship Applicatiion (PDF), along with supporting document(s): eligibility letter for free and reduced lunch or last filed Federal tax return, and forward it to the City of Woodbury, Parks, and Recreation Department, via email or mail to 8301 Valley Creek Road, Woodbury, Minnesota 55125.
