Alert:
Did you know that you may qualify for a scholarship to participate in a class? Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) offers scholarships for certain classes to eligible recipients. If approved, scholarship recipients pay a $15 processing fee for a select class and can get entry into one class per quarter.
The following individuals may qualify to receive a scholarship:
Parents/Guardians can register each dependent (under the age of 18) who receives public assistance (listed below) to receive a scholarship for one coded class per quarter. FCPA must receive a verification letter from the organization providing assistance that includes eligibility dates and the name of the dependent who will receive the scholarship.
Adults with disabilities and senior adults who certify that their income is below the guidelines listed below also are eligible for a scholarship of one class per quarter. For each additional person, add $5,800 to determine maximum annual income for eligibility.
Please note:
*Keep original copies of eligibility and only send copies. We will not send your verification proof back to you.*
There is a $15 processing fee for each scholarship class that is refundable only if Fairfax County cancels the program. Scholarships are NOT eligible for the $8 registration discount.
No scholarships are offered for camps, workshops, Day Trips and Tours, programs offered by private vendors, TRX or Pilates Allegro lessons. Supply fees must be paid by student.

This can be done by registering online, by fax, mail, or in person. Registration forms cannot be accepted by email or by the online verification form
Classes that are not eligible for scholarship will remain full price in the cart (Pilates Allegro, Fallproof) or a vendor class. Class titles may have “by vendor” in the name.

FCPA will post a full credit for the processing fee to your account when FCPA cancels a class or program in its entirety. If a class or program is changed by FCPA and the change makes it impossible for the customer to continue with the class, FCPA will issue a full refund of the processing fee. For all other requests, the processing fee is non-refundable.
