The City of Moscow Youth Scholarship Program is a City of Moscow program designed to assure that the youth of Moscow have a means to participate in City recreational activities regardless of parent or guardian ability to pay. The program has been in place in one form or another for years, but because of severe economic conditions, the present program policy was implemented by the City Council in 2009.

For more information on the City of Moscow Parks and Recreation program, the youth scholarship and current funding status, and to see the current policy, visit http://www.ci.moscow.id.us/parks-rec/Pages/Youth-Scholarship.aspx.
