Scholarships

SEA offers financial assistance to students who want to participate in our educational programming. See below for specific scholarship opportunities and application processes.

  • Because we have limited scholarships available, we prefer that you apply to either our general scholarships below or Belvedere Cove Foundation but not both. 

  • If you do  apply for both, we ask that you let us know on our application,  so that we can take any amount awarded by BCF into our scholarship award decision.

  • Applying for both may also delay our timeframe for making a decision as we will need to know the outcome of your application to their scholarship before we make an award.

Zacherson and DBW Scholarships

SEA has general scholarship funds available and considers requests on an on-going basis and will award as our available funds allow.

  • Scholarships are on a sliding-scale based on annual household income.

  • You can apply for more than one student at a time.

  • Requests for multiple sessions for the same student will be considered on an individual basis.

  • If your family does not qualify under income guidelines but have special circumstances and are in need we encourage you to apply and outline those circumstances.

  • Families on government assistance or with an annual household income of less than $80,000 qualify for a Full Scholarship. These scholarships cover the full cost of the sailing camp aside from a $25 non-refundable deposit.

  • Families with a combined household income of less than $100,000 qualify for a Half Scholarship. These scholarships cover 50% the cost of the sailing camp.

  • Families with a combined household income of less than $120,000 qualify for a Partial Scholarship. These scholarships cover 25% the cost of the sailing camp.

The Belvedere Cove Foundation considers scholarship requests for sailing-related activities for individual youth (under age 18).

Who should apply?

  • Any youth whose family’s financial situation precludes him or her from fully participating in a sailing program.

​How long does the process take?

  • The process for review, approval, disbursement of funds can take up to three weeks.

Limited funds

  • The Belvedere Cove Foundation has a limited number of scholarships available each year.
