The goal of the Angleton Parks & Recreation scholarship program is to provide the opportunity to participate in parks & recreation programming by assisting low-income families and individuals and subsidizing costs associated with Angleton Parks & Recreation programs. The scholarship program establishes the eligibility, requirements, distribution, award level, and guidelines that apply to all Angleton Parks & Recreation programs for which a fee is charged.
