BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

The Far West Ski Foundation augments the Athletic Scholarship Program through funds raised by direct contributions. Athletic scholarships are awarded to developing Alpine ski racers participating in programs within the Far West Ski Association geographic region (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington or Wyoming). The Foundation makes its scholarship selections with an eye toward expectations of the long-term contributions that the student-athlete may make to the snowsports community and the larger community as well.

Scholarships currently range in value starting from $500 and may range upward to $1,500. Scholarships assist athletes who are committed to pursuing a competitive Alpine racing program. Scholarship funds may be used to offset training expenses and competition entrance fees, but may not be used for personal travel or equipment. Grants are made to the teams on which they compete, not to individuals.

The competitor must apply for a scholarship according to the schedule published by FWSA, usually by the end of June. Scholarships are awarded by September 30. Any competitor who is currently a United States Ski Association (USSA) licensed U21, U18 or second year U16 (15 years old) athlete, competing in a USSA affiliated Alpine Ski Racing program is eligible to apply for a scholarship. Athletes who have previously applied, but not awarded a scholarship, and previous scholarship recipients are all encouraged to apply.
