The Scholarship Committee looks forward to applications from all who feel that it would be a benefit to their snow sport education to be able to attend one of our educational events, but who need financial assistance to do so.  We have worked hard to earn sufficient funds to help instructors attend events who might otherwise not have been able to do so.  Do not hesitate to apply if you want consideration for a scholarship.
