ISR LESSON SCHOLARSHIPS
CAST values inclusive practices and believes that every child is entitled to self-rescue skills. Our team works hard to ensure access to families with a serious interest in swim and self-rescue lessons.
If you or your partner are serving or have served in the military, are a teacher or nurse, or work as a first responder, scholarships are available covering approximately 25% of the cost of lessons. Those in need of more financial aid can apply for additional coverage.
The CAST Foundation helps minimize the cost of self rescue swim lessons for those in need by granting scholarships in varying amounts for families swimming with CAST Affiliated Instructors. Three main types of scholarships are offered (subject to verification):
Military, Teacher, Nurse & First Responder: If you or your partner are serving or have served in the military, are a teacher or nurse, or work as a first responder, scholarships are available covering approximately 25% of the cost of lessons. Those in need of more financial aid can apply for additional coverage.
Special Needs: This scholarship assists families with special needs or a disability (parent or child) that have an interest in self-rescue. Scholarships are available covering approximately 25% of the cost of lessons. Those in need of more financial assistance can apply for additional coverage.
Income Based: Families in need of financial assistance may qualify for varying amounts of scholarship funding, including coverage of registration fees.
CAST Scholarship applications are provided after you have contacted a CAST Affiliated Instructor (ask your instructor if they are CAST Affiliated or refer to this list, and have agreed upon a location, session start date and time slot.
Please note, a written statement is required as a part of this application and weighs heavily in our decision-making process.
