Scholarships
We believe the ability to pay should not be a barrier to participation. We offer a confidential application process, and make determinations based on athlete/family need, available funding, and athlete commitment. An overview of the process and the application can be found on our SCHOLARSHIPS page.
Refund Policy
Refund eligibility may vary by program* and is subject to the discretion of the program head(s). The following general guidelines apply:
- What’s Covered:
Refunds apply only to Ford Sayre program fees. They do not include costs associated with memberships (NENSA, USSA, etc.) or ski passes from the Dartmouth Skiway, Oak Hill Outdoor Center, Whaleback, or any other ski area or organization. - How to Request:
A refund request must be submitted in writing and received at least two weeks prior to the first day of training (whether dryland or on-snow).- Approved requests submitted by this deadline may be eligible for a full refund minus a $60 administrative fee.
- Please send the refund request via email to the program’s email address (listed below).
- Late Cancellations:
A refund request is considered late if it is not submitted in writing and received at least two weeks prior to the first day of training (whether dryland or on snow).- Requests received within the two-week period prior to the start of training, may be considered in very limited circumstances. These requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.
- No refunds will be issued on or after the first day of training.
- Injury or Illness:
If an athlete experiences a season-ending injury or illness, you may request a partial refund of program fees. These requests must be submitted in writing and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. - Missed or Canceled Sessions:
We do not issue refunds for missed sessions or cancellations due to weather or safety conditions.
*Because the Ford Sayre Academy (FSA) has high fixed costs and requires significant advance planning, its refund policy is more stringent. A non-refundable deposit is required upon registration and any refund requests must be submitted by August 1 to be considered eligible for a partial refund (minus deposit and administrative fees). We are not able to offer refunds for voluntary withdrawals after this date.
