Financial Assistance

Sugar Bowl Academy is a community dedicated to providing passionate skiers the opportunity to pursue athletic dreams, academic excellence, and personal growth, while celebrating grit, grace, and courage. Skiing and snowboarding are expensive sports to pursue, especially as athletes become more advanced and require higher quality equipment and travel to maximize time on snow. 

Discounts and Awards

As a 501(c)(3), our ability to provide discounts and awards to our athletes is based on the generosity of our community and the charitable contributions we receive. We encourage you to review the full pricing process to better understand the discounts and awards that may be available for your child.

  • Early Bird Discount: 5 % off the standard program price if enrolled by April 1 and have paid the deposit.

  • Financial Aid: Up to 75% off the standard program price, based on financial need. Available for the Winter and Full Year programs.

  • Athletic Scholarship: Determined by SBA staff based on program needs. Available for programs that train at least 5 days per week.

Applying for Need-Based Financial Aid (academic programs)

SBA uses FAST Aid as the platform to determine the appropriate level of financial aid based on financial need. The Financial Aid award is capped at 75% of the applicable program price and is allocated on a first come, first served basis. Families should complete the FAST application as early as possible to maximize funds available for Financial Aid. Families who want to also be eligible for the Early Bird Discount must complete the FAST Aid application by March 15.

Scholarships

Several organizations also offer scholarships to help cover the program cost. SBA does not influence these scholarship awards. Below is a list of outside organizations that may offer scholarships. Please contact the scholarship organization directly for more information about the scholarships they offer and information on how to apply.
