Funding Resources for Junction Programs
We love introducing people to climbing, however we acknowledge the financial barriers and challenges that make our sport not as accessible. We don't want anyone left out! If you are struggling to pay sign-up fees, consider applying for funding support using any of the following programs. However please note most of these resources are geared towards youth programming.
Junction Youth Scholarship Funding
Who is Eligible? If your child is interested in climbing, but you feel that there is a financial barrier preventing you from registering your child.
How Much? We will either cover the entire amount of the program/camp, or reduce the cost for you depending on how many families are being currently supported.
How to Apply? Please fill out the application form below and someone from Junction will be in contact with you. We will confirm if your application has been successful or if the program/camp you have chosen is full. We are accepting a maximum of 4 kids per program session and 1-2 kids per camp. Applications will be accepted in the order that they are received.
Junction Funding - External Grant Top-Up
Who is Eligible? Anyone who has been approved for external funding through a grant program, but it does not cover the entire cost of your registration. The program does not need to be on the list below, but the funding received must be related to financial aid for children in sports.
How Much? We will top-up the remainder of program fees not covered by external grants. For example, if funding only covers a part of the program cost or limited sessions every year, Junction will help cover the rest.
How to Apply? Please fill out this application form and mention that you have applied or are approved for funding from an external charity and want a top-up through our scholarship. We will then contact you to confirm if your application has been successful or if the program/camp you have chosen is full.
Please Note re: the below External Grants
Please look at which program you are applying for and request the specific amount of the price of the class.
If you are approved for funding, most organizations will send us a cheque directly and not include your/your child’s name for privacy reasons. It is your responsibility to notify us that you are receiving funding so that we know whose registration the cheque is for. On your application please put our facility’s name down as “Junction Climbing Centre.”
Please make sure to apply in time based on the charity’s processing times. If the grant requires that you sign up for the class before applying but the deadline is before our registrations open, please reach out to alana@junctionclimbing.com to discuss options.
Once you have applied for funding, email alana@junctionclimbing.com to let us know so that we can arrange a payment plan for your balance if necessary.
