Youth Scholarship Program
Because some residents are unable to participate in recreation programs due to economic hardship, the Champaign Park District offers scholarships to reduce certain fees and charges. Youth Scholarship Program applicants are not guaranteed fund availability, program registration or choice of program location. Early applications are given priority. Need is the primary criterion upon which scholarship applicants are considered. Questions: 398-2550.
CPD & CUSR Scholarship Forms will be used by any applicant who wants financial help with programs occurring between May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021. Page 3 is for each child requesting assistance, so print multiple copies if needed:
- Champaign Park District Scholarship Form 2021-2022 >>
- Champaign-Urbana Special Recreation Scholarship Form 2020-2021 >>
If a participant would like to apply for more programs than space allowed on the form, please use the following form for additional program:

Child Care Resource Service (CCRS)
Child Care Resource Service helps income-eligible parents who are working and/or going to school pay for their child care. Eligibility is based on parents’ family size and income. Working families whose incomes are at or below 50% of the state median income level may be eligible to apply. Processing the application can take up to 10 business days, once all the necessary information is received. Please pick up an application form from CCRS.
Questions: Child Care Resource Service, 333-3252 or 1-800-325-5516
Please Note: Champaign-Urbana Special Recreation is unable to accept CCRS payment due to changes in governmental regulations.
