We are excited to announce that each season we are able to increase our numbers of Nantucket youth participating in the NCS programs.  We are also proud to say that 80% of these Nantucket you participants received scholarships.  Half of those students were first-time sailors and received 100% scholarships, while the others were returning students, who received scholarships ranging from 50% - 75% of total fees.  We grant a scholarship to every local child who requests one, however currently we cannot afford to grant full scholarships to every child.

This year we are continuing our focus on increasing local youth participation in our programs and have every expectation that there will be even more local youth participation than last year.  We likewise anticipate that this will increase our scholarship needs.

It is our goal to give local youth residents every opportunity to learn the life-long skills of sailing.  The scholarships that we are able to grant are integral to realizing this goal.  The support of private donors is very important to us at Community Sailing and is sincerely appreciated by island children and their families.
