The Glenwood Figure Skating Club is pleased to offer scholarships for the 2024-2025 Skating Season. We have four (4) scholarship categories: 1st grade to 4th grade students, 5th grade to 8th grade students, high school students and post-secondary individuals. Glenwood reserves the right not to award a scholarship in a particular category in any given year based on the number and quality of applications that meet the criteria below. A gentle reminder that essays must be written by the skater. Individuals may only receive a scholarship one time in each category.
