2012 Summer Youth Program Fees & Scholarship Eligibility

 

IMPORTANT

Payment for 2012 need not be made until AFTER enrollment confirmations have been sent post-lottery.

 

Scholarship Eligibility

Our course fees are on a "sliding scale" based upon a family's Annual Household Income or the Adjusted Gross Income.  See below tables describing the fees and sliding-scale for each course.

The registration and lottery process for admitance to the Courageous Sailing Summer youth programs is “Need-Blind.” This means that admission, in no respect, is based on ability to pay. Scholarships are readily available for all who qualify.

Extenuating circumstances are always taken into consideration should a family choose to share them with our staff. All financial and personal information is kept confidential.

If possible, please consider supporting another student.

It costs approximately $650 per week per child for Courageous Sailing to operate its summer youth program. Our summer program fees have been generously underwritten by donors including the City of Boston, the business community, charitable foundations, our adult student/members, and individual participants like yourselves.

We respectfully request that families of means consider paying the full cost per student to Courageous or underwriting the cost of another less fortunate child to sail with us. Thank you very much for your generosity and thoughtful consideration.
