Notice and Application for Member Scholarship Program

The Fontana Aquatics Club (FAC) provides a limited number of scholarships to our members to help economically disadvantaged families with some of the cost of membership dues. These scholarships are on a first come, first available, rolling basis until all scholarship funds are designated for the swim season. The financial aid decisions are based on the availability of funds and FAC rules and policies. We are required by law to consider all your resources when determining your eligibility.
