SUGARLOAF SKI CLUB SCHOLARSHIPS

One of CVA’s most important partners is the Sugarloaf Ski Club; a cornerstone of the Sugarloaf community and a driving force behind youth snowsports in Maine. The mission of the Ski Club is to provide opportunities for all youth to participate and excel in skiing and snowboarding, promote community-building events, support competition, and preserve the history and heritage of the mountain.

The Fall Scholarship Program, funded by the Town of Carrabassett Fund, the Dick & Martha Ayotte Fund, and other Ski Club funds, provides partial financial assistance to help young snowboarders and skiers participate in local programs. Applications must be postmarked by September 20, 2025.
