Scholarship Fund

G Scott Ransom Scholarship

Competitive skiing can be an expensive sport. The G. Scott Ransom Scholarship was established to help eligible youth athletes defray the team fees associated with training and competition. The program was established in 2005 in honor of the great contributions of long-time D/SAC Head Coach Scott "Race" Ransom.

Financial need, interest and commitment to the ski program are considered when awarding this scholarship, which is funded by the earnings of the Scholarship Fund and annual fundraising appeals, and is managed for us by the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation.

Deadlines
All forms must be fully completed and submitted to the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation by September 20 of each year.

Number and Duration of Awards
