The CYC Foundation provides scholarships to Chicago-area youth for both after-school and summer sailing programs. Sailing School Scholarships can be applied toward any Chicago-area youth sailing program. These programs help participants develop an appreciation for the lake and teach them how them how to sail, learn to work together as a team, and support each other. Students in need of financial support who have completed our Adventure Boating program or have prior experience in sailing and want to further develop their skills are encouraged to apply. For many families, these scholarships and grants make a big difference in providing the opportunity for their children to participate. Scholarship funds are allocated based on demonstrated need to ensure equitable access to these programs for all who apply. Youth sailors wishing to apply for Sailing School Scholarships can apply by filling out this form. Applications are reviewed quarterly by the Foundation in February, April, August, and November.
