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 reduction 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.
Income levels are based on Gross Annual Income and defined as follows:
In accordance with the Department’s policy as provided in the Food and Nutrition Service publication Eligibility Manual for School Meals, ‘‘income,’’ as the term is used in this notice, means income before any deductions such as income taxes, Social Security taxes, insurance premiums, charitable contributions and bonds.
