Activity and Program Scholarships

Bismarck Parks and Recreation District offers a scholarship program that will absorb some costs of programs and memberships as BPRD does not want to deny access to activities due to inability to pay.

BPRD asks that parents/guardians make every effort to have your children attend the programs for which you register. Many programs reach capacity, and BPRD wants to provide recreational opportunities for all.

Application Process

School Year

  • Contact the social worker at your child/children’s school. The social worker will provide you with the fee waiver form, which you will bring to the BPRD office, 400 E. Front Ave., to register your child/children in your selected program(s).
  • Home school families may follow the Summer Months process below.
  • A new waiver is required each school year.

Summer Months and Adults

  • Print the scholarship application (PDF) and fill it out. Hard copies are also available at the BPRD office, 400 E. Front Ave.
  • Bring the completed application with verification of income (for example, your most recent tax return or current qualification for SNAP or Medicaid benefits) to the BRPD office to register for programs or outdoor pool season passes.
