Scholarship Information
The mission of Cascadilla Boat Club is to make rowing accessible to the Ithaca community. In effort to make our programs more financially accessible, we offer fee reductions and fee waivers/scholarships. Funds to make these fee waivers possible are made possible by the generous support of individual donors as well as community foundations.
We offer the following as a guide for determining eligibility for fee reductions. We do not collect personal financial information and operate on an honnor system.

- Determine your family size (adults and children), and total family income.
- Find the row for you family's size (i.e. two adults and two children = family size of 4)
- Move right across the chart until you come to your family's total income
- Look at the top row to see your scholarship level (i.e. full waiver, 50% wavier)
- Send an email to [email protected] with your name and level of waiver, and you/your child's Icrew account will be updated so that fee waiver automatically applies to all future fees and registations.
