Peninsula Aikido Scholarship Fund

Located in North Portland, our program focuses on low-income, at-risk
high school students. We partner with school counselors and teachers
to reach out to students at the first signs of the at-risk cycle—
indicators can include difficulties at home, social isolation, diminishing
school performance and declining physical activity.

The fund provides students with an initial three-month program,
consisting of three after-school classes a week. There is no cost to the
student for this portion. After completing the initial three months,
students may apply for a continuing six-month program. We offer a half-
scholarship for this program, with the student paying twenty dollars a
month toward their tuition. We feel that this gives students a greater
sense of ownership in their Aikido training. They can continue to apply
for ongoing scholarships every six months. Students who cannot afford
this, may participate in a work-study program in which they can do
chores, or help in the children's class. No teen is ever turned away
because they cannot pay.
