Recreation - SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

Client Scholarships
Vermont Adaptive continues to strive to make our programs affordable for our clients; no student will be denied access to a program due to financial constraints. We believe everyone has a right to participate in recreational activities, therefore, we provide scholarships for those who need financial assistance in order to participate in our programs. These scholarships are made available on a case by case basis. For information about individual program scholarships please contact the program coordinators.

Volunteer Training Scholarships
Vermont Adaptive has made a commitment to our volunteers as well as our clients. If our programs are to continue to grow and thrive we must have well trained, technically skilled volunteers and there are many professional organizations that offer specialized certifications and training. Our growth depends upon the quality of our volunteers but we also know that those certifications can be expensive. To ease some of the costs of these events, Vermont Adaptive is able to provide limited scholarships for those who need financial assistance. Applications are accepted seasonally and scholarships are awarded on a case by case basis.

Some application requirements are:
• Must seek training with a professional organization directly related to adaptive sports and recreation
• Limited to $250 per person, per year.
• Volunteer will remain committed to VASS to share knowledge gained for 2 year period
• Program Coordinator must approve request prior to approval from Program Manager and Executive Director
• On an additional sheet of paper please print how you got involved with VASS, your experience working with VASS and special populations, and why you have chosen to pursue your personal development with the above organization.

For more information and to receive a scholarship application, please contact a program coordinator.
