Stark Mountain Foundation provides local children with scholarships for ski instruction at Mad River Glen. The Children’s Ski Scholarship program also pays for rental equipment, lift passes, and lunch. Awarded recipients who successfully complete the program are further eligible to apply for scholarships in subsequent years. To learn more about the history of the Children’s Ski Scholarship program please go to the History page.

Each year, the SMF scholarship committee selects from a pool of candidates with the goal of awarding three (3) to six (6) new incoming scholarship athletes as well as providing support for up to fifteen (15) returning athletes.

SMF’s Children’s Ski Scholarship Program is funded thanks to the generous support from our donors. Our volunteers work hard to bring it all to life. The Stark Mountain Foundation Scholarship Committee is defined annually to support our active programs. 

If you’re interested in getting involved or donating to help sustain and grow our programs please get in touch with us at skischolarship@starkmountain.org.
