You can still apply to the Youth Fund for diploma swimming and/or a cultural activity.

Application submitted?
We do our best to process your application within a week. You'll receive a notification as a parent, even if you applied with support from Meerkracht, the SINA foundation, or via kieseenclub.nl. The club will also receive a notification of your application. The Youth Fund handles payment for the sports lessons. Therefore, you won't receive any money as a parent. If your application is approved, your child can start taking lessons!
