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.
- A Recreation staff member will complete a confidential Financial Needs Assessment with the applicant and recommend determination for award.
- 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 from a Recreation staff person with the amount of aid awarded, any balances that may remain and any necessary program forms that may be required for participation.
Any questions regarding the Financial Aid process shall be directed to recdept@lexingtonma.gov
