Financial Aid

Durham Rangers Basketball recognizes that financial challenges can prevent some families in our community from enrolling their children in our youth basketball programs.

If your family is experiencing financial hardship, we highly recommend applying for support through available funding options shared below.

To ensure timely access to these resources, please apply as early as possible. Once you've submitted your application, email us at durham.rangers@yahoo.com to inform our office manager that you intend to use grant funding for your program fees.
