RACINE — The SC Johnson Community Aquatic Center has a new scholarship program that provides discounts on various pass options to eligible residents.
Racine County received a $5,000 donation from SC Johnson for the program, which began May 1.
The funding will provide a 50% discount on five-day passes, 10-day passes and seasonal membership passes. Attendees of a Water Safety Swim session will receive a 75% discount, according to the county.
According to Racine County’s website, regularly-priced season passes are $25 for youth between 3-17 years of age; $65 for adults; $55 for seniors 62 years of age and older; and $110 for families of four (maximum of two adults).
Regularly-priced single-day passes are $5 for youth, $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $25 for families of four, according to the county.
The scholarships are available to families and individuals who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. To confirm eligibility, Racine Unified School District families should email food.service@rusd.org; for other schools, families should contact their schools’ offices.
Applicants must provide proof of eligibility, proof of address and a photo ID. More information is available at www.RacineCounty.com/SCJAquatic.
