PAC Scholarships

  Ellertson Family Scholarship

 

The Ellertson Family Scholarship fund was established in 2008 to assist families with children who love swimming, but would not able to swim because of financial hardship. PAC will consider granting scholarships based on the application and the availability of scholarship funds.  If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, please fill out a scholarship application form. Scholaships cover only monthly dues.  Swim meet fees and merchandise costs are billed and payable by the family regardless of scholarship status.

The scholarship form is available by clicking here or can be obtained from your coach or the Scholarship Committee Chair.

PAC offers financial assistance for families unable to meet the monthly dues payment schedule. In order to be considered for financial assistance, the following criteria must be met:

 1.  Submit completed application with:

  1. documentation that your child is eligible for free or reduced lunch

OR

  1. documentation supporting financial hardship such as job loss or long-term illness.

2.  Have your swimmer’s coach submit a letter acknowledging the swimmer’s and family’s commitment to PAC.

 

In the envelope provided, submit the application with documentation to your site coach. The coach will get your application and the coach’s letter to the Scholarship Committee Chair. The committee will review your application and recommend approval or denial to the board. You will be notified after the board’s decision

Scholarship Committee Chair: Janis McDowell. Contact Janis (503.244.1763) with questions about scholarships, and submit applications to her via your coach.

PAC is a dues-funded organization. Therefore, scholarship money is limited. Granting scholarships is based on a review of the information submitted to the scholarship committee in conjunction with budget considerations.  The PAC board will determine by the November meeting how much funding is available for the year.
