Do you need help paying for Cary programs? 

In Cary, we are committed to ensuring that all citizens have equal access to recreational opportunities. Our scholarship provides residents with the chance to apply for discounted programs offered through Cary's Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department, making our community’s activities more inclusive and accessible for everyone.  

We are currently reimagining our scholarship program. While the scholarship remains active during this transformation, we are working to increase awareness and optimize funding, enabling us to better serve our citizens and enhance the program’s overall impact.
