Financial Assistance - Swim Beyond the Boundaries
Swim Beyond the Boundaries Inc. maintains a scholarship fund to help those who do not have the financial means to participate in swim lessons. We believe every child should have the opportunity to learn lifesaving swimming skills regardless of the ability to pay. The scholarship program is made possible through donations from businesses and individuals and grants.
Who is eligible for financial assistance?
Parents or guardians of children between the ages of 2 years and up who reside in the state of Georgia may apply for financial assistance. Approval of the application is made on an individual basis. The amount of assistance is determined using a sliding scale based on the total household income and the number of people in the household.
What type of information is required for the application?
You will need to complete a scholarship application and provide proof of participation in another qualified financial assistance program or household income (a recent pay stub from your employer or a copy of last year’s tax return) or a letter from a physician documenting your child's disabilities.
What if I receive financial assistance from another agency?
If you receive financial assistance from WIC, Head Start, Peachcare for Kids, or Medicaid you will automatically be qualified for the scholarship program. You will need to supply proof of your current participation in one of the programs and will not be required to submit copies of pay stubs or tax returns.
What if I do not receive financial assistance from the government, but cannot afford swim lessons?
You will need to email Coach Mandi with information detailing the circumstances and what you are reasonably able to afford for swim lessons.
What if I my child has a disability?
If your child has a medical diagnosis of a physical, mental, or visual disability, as documented by a physician, your child may be eligible for financial assistance.
Is there a maximum scholarship amount that can be given?
The maximum financial award is $350 per child, per year, which is the cost of weekly swim lessons during the school year, granted to a maximum of 8 students*. Depending on the success of fundraising efforts, additional scholarships may be granted.
*The number of scholarships may vary based on grants received.
