2011 Grants and Scholarships

In support of area youth sailors as they compete on the national stage, The Sailing Foundation provides grants to traveling teams equal to half of their airfare.

The following teams received grants in 2011:

• Bainbridge Island High School Team
• Orcas Island High School Sailing Team
• Western Washington University Sailing Team

A grant was given to the Northwest Interscholastic Sailing Association to pay ferry fares and travel expenses for teams to bring their own fleet of boats to "away" regattas, to enable more boats to be on the starting line at each Northwest District high school sailing regatta during Spring, 2011.

Scholarships were awarded to sixteen youth who participated in learn-to-sail programs, in the WIND Clinic that provides expert coaching in racing techniques, and in High School Sailing Team programs.

A scholarships was awarded to a low-income Bremerton student to enroll in the Bremerton Yacht Club's learn-to-sail program.
