Scholarship Program

CCSC is deeply committed to ensuring that all kids, regardless of their financial circumstances, have access to our snowsports programs. Our scholarship program provides opportunities for deserving youth to participate in our programs, removing financial barriers and offering life-changing experiences. Thanks to our host partner, Crystal Mountain, key donors such as the Share Winter Foundation, and many donors in our community, we are able to offer some financial assistance when needed.

Please follow these steps PRIOR to registering for any programs. If approved, you will be provided with discount codes to decrease or erase the program fees during registration.

Step 1: You may qualify for Every Kid Sports

Every kid Sports is the national non-profit providing financial support to kids from income-restricted families for sports registration fees. Crystal Community Ski Club provides for a recreational sport lasting at least four weeks. As a result the CCSC programs qualify for Every Kid Sports. Here are the participant requirements for a scholarship through Every Kid Sports:

  • Your child is currently enrolled in Medicaid, SNAP or WIC.

  • Your child is between the ages of 4-18.

If you meet the above criteria, click here to submit your application to Every Kid Sports. Please do this before moving forward to step 2.
