South Tahoe recreation scholarships offer up to $200
The new aid covers select city activities and passes for eligible South Shore households.
South Shore residents facing financial barriers can receive up to $200 toward participating in South Lake Tahoe recreation offerings. The new Recreation for Everyone Scholarship is backed by the South Tahoe Parks Foundation and administered with the city’s Parks and Recreation Department. Awards may pay for qualifying activities, instruction, special offerings or passes for the Recreation & Aquatics Center. They cannot cover single-day entry fees or building rentals.
Eligibility is tied to financial need and the money available. A household’s income must be no more than 60 percent of the local median threshold, with the limit varying by family size. Applicants must submit records showing their income and need. Residents dealing with unusual financial strain may receive individual consideration when scholarship funding permits.
Once a recipient accepts an award, the money remains available for one year. Any unused amount expires rather than moving into another award period. It also cannot be reassigned to someone else or exchanged for a refund. Applications and additional details are available through the city’s scholarship webpage.

Evenings at the lodge now end on the sand: s'mores kits at the front desk, blankets by the door, and the lake going quiet at dusk.
Lakeside rooms with a private deck, a fire pit on the beach, and coffee at sunrise.
