Breathtaking scenery, old west charm, friendly people and an exciting experience will highlight a scholarship winner’s all-expense paid trip. It includes 4 days of one-on-one ski instruction, lift tickets, all necessary ski equipment, 5 nights of lodging in a volunteer host-home, transportation to, from and around Durango and meals.
Adaptive Sports Association’s Scholarships were created to provide an opportunity for people with disabilities to discover their potential, successfully meet and overcome challenges, learn and enjoy an exciting new sport, travel and make new friends, and most importantly, have fun! These benefits and many more have been experienced by over 500 past scholarship recipients over the last 40 years.
Scholarships are designed to accommodate individuals with a wide variety of disabilities. Our selections are based on a combination of factors including disability types in a given group, capacity at our ski school, etc. It is important that you fill this application out as honestly and completely as possible. None of the questions are meant to disqualify applicants. They are meant to give our committee and ski school as much information as possible.
