Foundation Impact
A Lasting Legacy: Named Scholarship Funds
Over the years, generous members, families, friends, and supporters have established scholarship funds to honor individuals who made a difference in the snowsports community and to create educational opportunities for future generations of instructors.
These gifts support a variety of educational goals, from helping instructors pursue certification to advancing adaptive education, children’s instruction, and other specialized areas of professional development.
Some funds are established as permanent endowments, providing ongoing support through invested contributions. Others are designated scholarship funds that support specific educational purposes.
We are grateful for the generosity and commitment of those who established these funds and for the lasting difference their gifts continue to make.
