Does Youth on Course offer Financial Assistance to members?

Yes. Youth on Course offers Financial Assistance to eligible applicants who live in most regions within the United States. Apply here: https://youthoncourse.org/membership-financial-assistance. Your local golf association reviews applications, and you typically receive a decision within 4–5 business days.

Note: Financial Assistance is not available in Chicago, Oregon, Southern Nevada (Vegas), Washington, Canada, or Australia.

Overview

If the cost of membership is a barrier, Youth on Course is here to help. Our Financial Assistance program supports junior golfers and their families across most U.S. regions, enabling more young people to access golf and the life-changing opportunities that come with it.

Who This Is For

• Junior golfers and guardians who need help covering membership costs
• Prospective members who want to join but need temporary financial support
• Existing members whose circumstances have changed and now require financial support

Important Notes for Existing Youth on Course Members

If you already have an active Youth on Course membership and want to apply for Financial Assistance:

1. Cancel your current membership first.
   Make sure your active membership has been canceled.
2. Submit your Financial Assistance application only after your membership is canceled and auto-renewal is disabled.
   
3. Once approved:
   After your application is accepted and your previous membership has fully expired, you will receive a one-time registration link to renew your membership at the discounted rate.

This ensures your new membership is set up correctly and billed under the approved Financial Assistance rate.
