Let the Kids Play Scholarship Fund
This fund was created to ensure that all kids have the opportunity to play sports and participate in after school programs. The fund helps offset registration costs to make all programming affordable. The fund pays 75 percent of fees
to qualified participants.
Donations to the scholarship fund will only be used for kids right here in our Montgomery County. Children now more than ever need a chance to run, be on a team, learn from coaches, and have the opportunity
to go play.
We offer reduced cost athletic fees for individuals who qualify for medical assistance through the state of Virginia, including VA Premier and Medicaid. Proof of assistance, such as cards, letters, or documentation from Social Services must be provided in order to receive this discount. We must receive this documentation by the registration deadline.
Please call (540) 382-6975, Option 1 or email us at mcpr@montgomerycountyva.gov for more information about this program.
We accept donations to the scholarship fund online and in our office at 755 Roanoke Street, Suite 1E, in Christiansburg.
