Financial Aid Request Procecure
- Financial Aid is available to qualified Lexington Residents only.
- Many programs and services maintain waitlists, please submit your request allowing adequate time prior to the start of a program for availability, processing, and approval of your request.
- Financial Aid requests may be submitted in person or online by completing the Financial Aid Request Form.
- We use LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) to determine eligibility (further information may be found at mass.gov). All financial aid awards are based on individual circumstances and available funding.
- Applicants must schedule a meeting with a licensed social worker at Lexington Human Services Department (781-698-4840 or humanservicesoffice@lexingtonma.gov). The social worker will complete the confidential Financial Needs Assessment with applicant and recommend determination for award directly to Recreation and Community Programs.
- Required documents to submit include:
- Financial Aid Request
- Verification of household income (see below for examples of what this may include).
- A confirmation email will be sent with the amount of aid awarded, any balances that may remain and any necessary program forms that may be required for participation.
