It is a goal of STaRS to make its programs accessible for all persons who wish to participate. STaRS recognises that the programming offered may be financially out of reach for some individuals and families. Therefore, STaRS offers a limited bursary program for individuals living with physical, developmental, cognitive and/or mental health challenges where those individuals cannot afford to pay for their sessions and do not receive funding from a third party that could be used for their sessions.
Most of our riders are eligible for funding from various agencies, and we encourage all our riders to explore those avenues, such as The Kinsmen Foundation of BC, Athletics 4 Kids, Janna Epp Bursary, Kid Sport BC, CKNW Kids Fund, Gizeh Shriners of BC & Yukon.
The amount of the bursary fund varies from year to year and STaRS cannot guarantee that everyone who applies for assistance will receive a bursary.
An individual or family that would like to apply for a bursary should complete and submit the Bursary Application Form and return it to the Program Coordinator by the posted due date. Families with two or more children attending will be considered as one application.
