The Hilary Lindh Scholarship is now accepting student applicants for the upcoming ski season.
Four scholarship recipients will receive a 2017-18 Eaglecrest season pass in honor of the hard work and dedication of Lindh to downhill skiing.
The Eaglecrest Board of Directors established the scholarship program in 1992 in recognition of Lindh’s 1992 Olympic silver medal in the downhill event.
There are two different applications for students: one for those enrolled in kindergarten through fourth grade and one for fifth through 12th graders. One boy and one girl will be chosen from each age group.
The selection committee will judge applicants based on three main criteria: athletic ability, sportsmanship and scholastic achievement. The scholarship is open to Juneau students with an interest in skiing and snowboarding. Students must also have earned at least a C average over the previous school year.
Applications can be found online at www.skijuneau.com/lindh.php. The application deadline is Monday, Oct. 30. A completed application with required materials may be submitted via fax, email or in person at the Eaglecrest ticket window.
