HUTCHINSON SWIM CLUB d/b/a HIGH TIDES SWIM CLUB SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES AND APPLICATION

Hutchinson Swim Club d/b/a High Tides Swim Club has established a scholarship program to help swimmers and families that want to participate in our program but are unable to pay full registration fees. Scholarships are based on qualifications of the free and reduced lunch or medical assistance program. If a swimmer qualifies, registration fees may be reduced by up to 50 percent each session. All scholarship applications must be emailed to the club at [email protected]. All scholarships must be approved prior to a swimmer entering to water, an approval email will be sent if approved and may take up to 10 business days. A swimmer that starts practice prior to registration and scholarship approval may forfeit the scholarship.

Scholarship applicants must also agree to the following program requirements:

        This program is need-based, not performance based and may be applied for at anytime throughout the season.

        Scholarship recipients will be required to participate in all club fundraising events, as fundraising dollars are used to fund our scholarship program.

        Scholarship recipients will be required to work a minimum of two sessions (AM or PM) at all home meets.

        Scholarship recipients will be required to attend the percentage of practices required by your practice group: Championship 95%, Gold 90%, White/Silver 80%.

        This scholarship is for practice fees only. You will be required to pay for your USA Swimming registration and all meet fees. If you qualify for the free/reduced lunch program, the USA Swimming Outreach program provides USA Registration at a reduced rate.

         Each scholarship is only good for the length of the season. Those wishing to receive a scholarship the following season must re-apply.

         Misconduct, as defined by the Club Code of Conduct, will be grounds for loss of scholarship.

         All scholarship eligibility, approval and other matters will be handled by the High Tides Board of Directors only to ensure confidentiality.
