SCHOLARSHIPS
We Believe That Boating Is For Everyone
All 2025 scholarships have been awarded! Please come back in early 2026 to apply for summer 2026 scholarships.
Sail Sand Point is a community boating center dedicated to bringing the joy and life-enhancing benefits of sailing and small boats to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. SSP is proud to offer half and full scholarships to youth and adults, so that no one is excluded from the opportunity to come to Sail Sand Point and learn, regardless of financial circumstances.
Per our agreement with Seattle Parks & Recreation, Sail Sand Point is required to award scholarships based on the Income Eligibility Guidelines. This does require applicants to provide information related to income and number of members in the household.
Unfortunately, it’s possible that we’ll run out of scholarships by the time summer rolls around. Many of our camps and classes sell out in the spring and we simply do not have enough boats! We recommend applying for a scholarship early in the year when we open the application, which is usually in January.
If you prefer to fill out and mail or deliver us a paper copy of the application, you may print a PDF version: 2026 Scholarship will open next year!
After you’ve taken a class or two, there are more affordable ways to get back on the water!
Volunteer with Sail Sand Point and receive one hour of Open Boating boat rental time for every three hours of volunteer service.
