City of Davis

What is the fee subsidy program?

The City of Davis allocates funds each year tto help offset the cost of City recreation programs for low income households.  Those who qualify receive 50% of program fees up to their allotted household amount.  Because the amount of funding and number of subsidy requests varies, we are not able to provide a specific income cut-off for applications.  Families with the lowest incomes will be granted subsidies first.

Beginning February 2, 2009, we will be accepting scholarship applications for the periods of Summer 2009, Fall 2009 and Winter/Spring 2010. The initial application period for this year ends Friday February 20, 2009, when the bulk of the funds will be distributed. There will be a small portion of funds set aside for distribution throughout the year on a first come/first serve basis.

How do I apply for a fee subsidy?

To apply for a fee subsidy, simply download the fee subsidy application packet, print it out, complete it, and return it to our office by the application deadline.

To complete the application form, simply fill out all of the information requested, attach copies of your current Federal Income Tax Return and proof of income (as described on the application form).

Our online class registration program does not support fee subsidy applications at this time. Fee subsidy applicants can use the online class registration system to apply for programs where you pay the full fee, or to pay outstanding balances for any class (regular or fee subsidy).

Finally, mail the form to us or drop it by our office:
