Membership Assistance

How to Apply and Renew

In order for us to process your application, you must complete the confidential membership assistance (MA) application form. An online version of the application can be found at the bottom of this page or you may apply in person. For both new applications and renewals, please attach copies of the following documents to your online application or bring them to the RLASD Administration Office to verify your rate:

• Required: Copy of most recent tax return/W2/1099 forms OR if taxes not filed a letter from IRS.

• Required: Copy of two recent payroll stubs OR a copy of unemployment check stubs.

• If Applicable: Verification of any other assistance received, like food stamps, child support, housing assistance, etc. 

• If Applicable: Social Security income verification (tax return not required).

Membership Assistance

• Membership assistance is only available for members that live in the Rice Lake Area School District.

• Membership assistance can only be used for annual passes.

• The percentage of assistance applied to programs is based on a sliding scale (located below).

Selection Process

Eligibility for financial assistance will be determined by the appropriate staff, based on a thorough review of the application and at times a personal appointment with the applicant. For online applications, someone will follow up with you via email within 2 business days of your submission. The length of assistance will not exceed twelve months. You will be asked to complete a new MA form for all renewals. Failure to report any form of income may result in the termination or delay of assistance from RLARC. RLARC reserves the right to refuse assistance to any applicant. RLARC reserves the right to accept only qualifying applicants.
