SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
SCHOLARSHIP
Flagstaff Ski Club believes that no one should be restricted from participating in FSC programs for financial
reasons. The mission of the scholarship fund is to introduce, promote and inspire the love of junior ski and
snowboard racing and provide financial support for the further advancement of our existing junior ski and
snowboard racers. Scholarships are funded from generous donations provided by our sponsors and FSC
families.
Scholarships are available from Flagstaff Ski Club offering financial assistance for full and partial program fee
waivers. Applications are submitted on-line or by mail to the FSC Scholarship Program and require an athlete
essay, a letter of recommendation, and complete financial information.
Scholarship recipients are responsible for the remaining program fees if they are awarded a partial scholarship.
In addition, each athlete is responsible for a $50 team equipment fee per family and a $15 individual or $25
family membership fee. The athlete is also responsible for providing their own ski or snowboarding equipment,
helmet, and to purchase their own ticket or season pass to access chair lift.
