Champions in Motion Scholarships
Champions In Motion Scholarship Program 

 At Champions In Motion, we are committed to providing affordable youth programs that allow children to learn, grow, and succeed. We understand that unexpected financial hardships can make participation difficult for some families. When funding is available, Champions In Motion may offer a limited number of scholarships to help eligible students continue participating in our programs. 
Scholarship Availability 
Scholarships are awarded once per semester and are subject to available funding. Because scholarship funds are limited, applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis among qualified applicants.
Please note: 
--Submission of a scholarship application does not guarantee approval. 
--Scholarships may be awarded as either full or partial scholarships. 
--Approval for one child does not guarantee approval for siblings or other members of the same household.
--Approval decisions are based on multiple factors, including available funding, demonstrated financial need, and enrollment at the requested class location. 
Payment Responsibilities 
Families are responsible for paying all required registration and class fees while their scholarship application is under review. 
If your class has already begun and your scholarship application has not yet been processed, you must continue making all required payments in order for your student to participate.
