Scholarships

SEA offers financial assistance to students who want to participate in our educational programming. See below for specific scholarship opportunities and application processes.

As of now (4/14/25) we have scholarship support available from SEA sources only. Please read and consider the following points:

We have limited support available from the Division of Boating and Waterways.
You can apply for more than one scholarship, but we may not be able to award more than one.

SEA Scholarships

Through the generous support of the California Division of Boating and Waterways, and individual donors, SEA has general scholarship funds available and considers requests on an on-going basis and will award as our available funds allow.

Scholarships are on a sliding-scale based on annual household income.
You can apply for more than one student at a time.
Requests for multiple sessions for the same student will be considered on an individual basis.
If your family does not qualify under income guidelines but have special circumstances and are in need we encourage you to apply and outline those circumstances.
When describing your need, please focus on your financial needs and circumstances, not your child’s interest in sailing or the benefits they might gain from sailing.
If you do not hear from us within a week of submitting an application, please reach out by emailing programdirector@sfsailing.org

Families on government assistance or with an annual household income of less than $80,000 qualify for a Full Scholarship. These scholarships cover the full cost of the sailing camp aside from a $25 non-refundable deposit.
Families with a combined household income of less than $100,000 qualify for a Half Scholarship. These scholarships cover 50% the cost of the sailing camp.
Families with a combined household income of less than $120,000 qualify for a Partial Scholarship. These scholarships cover 25% the cost of the sailing camp.

Testimonial support

In order to continue to provide scholarships, we need to share testimonials about the value and impact of our scholarships for the youth and families we support. If awarded a scholarship, we will reach out after the program is over to ask you for a testimonial so we can share that with our funders and they can hear first-hand how much their support matters.
