Scholarship Application Process for Freestyle Team Program Fees

Confidential Financial Needs-Based Scholarship Program for the Whitefish Mountain Resort Freestyle Team

Goal and Timeline

SepWhitefish Freestyle Inc., a non profit organization, is happy to offer confidential financial scholarships for up to ½ the cost of the upcoming years’ (full day only, not Friday night or Sunday Freeride) program fees for the Whitefish Mountain Resort FreestyleTeam (WMRFT).

These scholarships may be awarded to those who otherwise would not be able to join the team without the financial assistance. The goal is to award ½ of the cost of the fees to all approved applicants, but this is dependent on the volume of applicants.

Each year a specific amount of funds are allocated for scholarships, and scholarships are awarded based on the strength of the application itself, not the order in which it is received. When that amount is exhausted, scholarship award amounts may be reduced or may not be available.

Applications may be submitted anytime between September 1st to October 1st of the current year. They will be evaluated by quality, not in the order in which they are received. The board will review applications once in October. The Inc. will announce the scholarship recipients by October 15th of the current year. If additional funds remain, the board will conduct a second round of application review in November and will notify 2nd-round scholarship recipients by November 15th. Please do not submit a second application for the 2nd round. We will use applications previously submitted the September 1 to October 1 application deadline range.

Paramaters

Skiers and Snowboarders ages 8 to 18 may apply. While we encourage all athletes to answer the below questions in their own words, parents (or guardians) of the athletes are encouraged to supplement their athlete’s application with their own answers as well.

Applicants must, at the minimum, demonstrate a desire in furthering your skiing/snowboarding skills and a strong interest in Freestyle/Freeride skiing or snowboard training. Like any athlete on the team, there is an expectation that athletes show their commitment by regularly attending team practices.

Some skills are also needed (having command of your skis/snowboard, confidence in your riding ability, and being able to hit a small jump, for example), but strong freestyle skills are not necessary. Past participation in a freestyle competition or participation in ski school program or race team is also helpful.
