The mission of the McCostis Scholarship Fund (MSF), a project of the Ludlow Teen Center, is “To assist Okemo Valley youth in their pursuit of excellence through skiing and snowboard training.” Founded in memory of Sue and Dick McCostis, ski instructors at Okemo Mountain, four memorial scholarships have been added to MSF, starting in 2007. These include: Pete Noyes Ski Scholarship; Kevin Stillwell Snowboarding Scholarship; George Shaw Ski Scholarship and Than Durgin Snowboarding Scholarship.
The McCostis Scholarship Fund is now accepting applications for those interested in attending a weekend program or target terms for the winter 2012-13. Scholarships are awarded by the following criteria:
• A resident of Ludlow, Cavendish, Proctorsville, Chester, Perkinsville, Springfield, Mt. Holly or Plymouth VT.
• Enrolled in grades 5th-12th and in good academic standing
• Demonstrated interest in and commitment to skiing (including freestyle) or snowboarding
• Parents or guardians are in need of financial support and are supportive of their child’s pursuit of training
Applications can be downloaded from the MSF blog or by calling Tara Liechensteiger 802-228-7280 or lance@tds.net
All applications must be submitted by Nov. 1, 2012.
