Limitations
Financial assistance can cover a portion of class fees and/or monthly program fees but cannot be applied to any other fees associated with participating with AARC, such as boat rack rental fees, regatta fees, social events fees or purchase of club apparel and gear.
How to Apply
Please note that AARC keeps financial information private. Applications will be reviewed by the Scholarship Committee which is comprised of the Scholarship Committee chair, the Treasurer and two Board members-at-large.
Requests for financial assistance must be made each season for which aid is needed and must be requested prior to the start of the class or program for which aid is needed. The personal contribution must also be paid prior to the start of the class or program unless special accommodation has been made with the Scholarship Committee.
AARC reserves the right to discontinue a scholarship at any time should the rower/sculler not adhere to the club's safety guidelines and/or follow the club's policies and procedures.
