Santa Clara wants to make it easier for low-income youths to play sports by paying their fees. The Santa Clara City Council voted unanimously Tuesday, with Councilmember Raj Chahal absent, to make the Wade Brummal Scholarship program easier to access and more streamlined. The program helps low-income families pay sports-related fees.

Santa Clara officials voted this week to make playing sports more accessible for youth. The Wade Brummal Scholarship was established in 2015 to help low-income families pay sports-related costs, like registration, facility, and equipment fees.
