Far West Masters Scholarship Application

Far West Masters Scholarship Application 2026-2027

We encourage all Far West Skiing Alpine athletes 13-20 years old to apply. Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of (and in order of importance) exemplary work ethic, academic scholarship, citizenship, financial need, and race results. Applications are due September 15th, 2026. Award winners will be announced in late November. Awarded funds are then placed into racers’ accounts from which they may draw upon during the season for racing expenses. In return for funding, the Masters ask that recipients forerun one of their races and speak at an awards ceremony. The experience has proven to be quite fun as it allows a junior athlete to show off their stuff and to thank the Masters in person for their support. Your participation by speaking and selling raffle tickets at our awards parties is an important contribution to our fund raising efforts and it helps to teach about “giving back”.

The purpose of this in-depth application, essays, and deadlines is to teach and give experience to students for their future college and business applications. Consider getting applications in prior to September 15 in case there are issues with submitting them online. After September 15 the application process is closed.

As always, it is an honor to receive applications from such a great group of athletes. Thank you in advance for applying.

Eddie Mozen, Chairman Masters Scholarship Fund
