Any Northwest member in good standing for at least two continuous years is eligible to apply for an Event Registration Fee or NW Bookstore Scholarship. Candidates will be expected to pay for additional expenses related to events such as: lift tickets, transportation, lodging, meals, personal miscellaneous expenses, etc. Scholarships are NOT awarded for membership dues; only registration fees and NW bookstore purchases.

Selection will be based upon such factors as:

• Financial need
• Contributions that the candidate has made to his/her Snow Sport School
• Whether this educational opportunity will help promote the mission of the candidate’s Snow Sport School in a positive way.
• The candidate’s explanation of how the scholarship would benefit him/her
• Past experience and contributions to Snow Sport School and community
• Application for Event Registration Fee Scholarships will be awarded to a member once every three years (if a need still exists)
• Applications for NW Bookstore Scholarships may be applied for and awarded every year (maximum award is $50)
• If the applicant is a NW member in good standing working out of the NW division, scholarships may still be awarded but are only awarded for NW event registration fees.

The Application Process

1. Complete the Scholarship Application Form.
2. Have your snow sports school director complete the Director’s Statement.
3. Have your additional form or recommendation filled out by the person writing for you.
4. Event Application complete with Credit Card payment information used to pay for any event fee that is not covered by the Scholarship.

Your complete application, including these four items must be received in the PSIA/AASI-NW office not later than 30 days prior to the event.  All monies must be in two weeks before the event or the scholarship recipient will not be eligible to attend the event.

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.  Unfortunately, dues payments cannot be handled with Scholarship funds.  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.
