MYNA 2024 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION

Welcome to MYNA's Financial Assistance application! One of our primary focuses is that these programs and services are accessible to every youth. We also understand that filling a form may be a little daunting, so MYNA has created a loving and respectable process for all of our MYNA Families. Forms and data are deleted once processed as well. We want this to be as personal and friendly a process as possible, so you can email Sr. Amal with any questions at admin@myna.org.

Before you begin, you will need your latest Tax return or proof of income/government assistance. You will need to attach this item to the form, so please have it ready before beginning the application.

Selection Criteria:

The number of scholarships awarded is based on the level of contributions received each year. AS A GUIDELINE, Children whose families' financial status/yearly income is below the poverty line (see "income guidelines") in accordance with family size are selected to receive scholarship and financial help. We also do our best to help those above the poverty line that are in need of assistance, so please apply! The amount of assistance will be determined on a case by case situation and is subject to availability of funds.

The deadline for this application is 2 weeks before registration closes for any event.

PLEASE NOTE:

1 - MYNA has a 2 strike policy at camp. If campers fail to uphold MYNA’s code of conduct and adhere to camp rules and regulations despite multiple warnings from camp staff, parents will be asked to pick up their youth and pay back up to 75% of the sponsored financial assistance. This money is an Amanah (trust), and as such, MYNA must do it’s best to distribute it to campers who will benefit the most.

2 - Please report ALL income honestly as it is an Amanah (trust) on MYNA to distribute this financial assistance to the most needy. This includes income that may not be reported on tax documents.

Event Details

Which event are you applying for & How much can you afford?

We here at MYNA want to make our events accessible for ALL Youth. No person knows your finances better than yourself and we understand that circumstances outside your tax return may be affecting your finances, so we ask that you help us out by letting us know what you can afford for your child(ren). Let us know how much you can pay per registrant. And Please note that the cost of some of our events are well above the price that we charge each registrant so we cannot offer a discount, we offer sponsorships to those in need so that no youth is turned away.

Please select the events that you are applying for then please let us know how much you can truly afford to pay for each youth to come to that event.
