The City of Shoreline wishes to make public recreation programs available to all youth and specialized recreation participants and recognizes that financial hardships may prevent the ability to pay for the program fees. To accommodate these special needs, the City of Shoreline provides scholarship funds for all recreation programs and events to qualifying Shoreline residents. 

Do I qualify for a scholarship? 

A qualified participant is a resident of the City of Shoreline and is either under 18 or a specialized recreation participant who is over 18 and can show proof of one of the following:
  • A letter from Shoreline School District verifying eligibility for free or reduced lunch during the
    current school year. A copy can be requested by calling 206-393-4209 and request a copy be emailed or forward to shorelineparks@shorelinews.gov.
  • A letter from Shoreline Head Start verifying your child’s current enrollment in Head Start.
  • A letter from DSHS showing approval for services during the current year for a child in your family or an adult with disabilities. If you need a copy of your approval letter, call DSHS at 877-501-2233 and request copy be emailed to shorelineparks@shorelinews.gov.
