The Redwood Falls Community Youth Foundation provides scholarships to help youth participate in organized recreation and education activities. It was formed by parents and community groups to encourage participation and reduce risky behaviors. The foundation gives scholarships to help families with short-term financial hardships so their children can participate. The application asks for child and guardian names and contact info, household income, circumstances affecting income, and lists the activities for which a scholarship is requested along with fees and applicant and foundation contributions.
