Guidelines for Applicants
The purpose of the Fund is to provide an opportunity for deserving athletes to achieve their goals in ski racing programs in New Hampshire .
Applicants will go through a formal application process and grants or scholarships will be made on an objective and non-discriminatory basis.
Program Considerations: It is hoped that the grant will enable the racer to further his/her goals with nurturing and training and thus raise his/her level of proficiency and ensuing self-esteem.
The profile of an ideal candidate is one who:
-
is a 10 to 17 year old male or female
-
is a resident of New Hampshire
-
shows financial need with respect to alpine or Nordic ski racing
-
exemplifies Josh's qualities as a person: kindness, dedication and honesty
Some examples of programs considered for support:

costs of specific athletic camps for skiing
-
costs of ski racing equipment
The student application form, as well as recommendation letters and a school transcript must be submitted with a financial statement no later than December 1st of the current school year.
Additional confirmation letters for the applied programs with the program descriptions and fees must also be verified.
Selection: The Fund Advisors and Advisory Committee will meet by November 1st to determine the selection and number of grants to be awarded within a yearly budget of up to $2000.00. All requests are acknowledged and reviewed. Decisions are made on a rolling basis throughout the year.
No Advisor of the Fund or of any related entity, nor any member of the family of such individual, is eligible to receive any grant from the Fund. The Fund in making grants does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, or national or ethnic origin.
Presentation of Awards: A formal presentation of Awards will be made annually at an appropriate public recognition event, such as the annual Pat's Peak Boxer Short Slalom race at Pat's Peak in Henniker, NH this March. The Advisors believe that recognition of the individual's unique and admirable qualities is an important part of the overall program.
Grants can be made directly to the individuals and/or dispersed to the specific program for which the student is applying for financial aid.
