Scholarships

The Gahanna Parks and Recreation Scholarship program was created to provide opportunities for people to have access to a variety of recreation experiences in the community. Thanks to the support of the Gahanna Parks and Recreation Foundation, the program has grown from being able to provide camp and pool experiences to now include all recreation opportunities.
