The Hilary Lindh Scholarship is now accepting student applicants for the upcoming ski season. <\/p>\n
Four scholarship recipients will receive a 2017-18 Eaglecrest season pass in honor of the hard work and dedication of Lindh to downhill skiing.<\/p>\n
The Eaglecrest Board of Directors established the scholarship program in 1992 in recognition of Lindh’s 1992 Olympic silver medal in the downhill event.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
