Stacey Cook/SVST Scholarship now accepting applications

For the fourth consecutive year, U.S. Ski Team member Stacey Cook and Sun Valley Ski Tools (SVST) have teamed to offer junior racers a helping hand. This year, the Stacey Cook/SVST Scholarship will be awarded to four J2 or J3 racers who exemplify talent, a good attitude, community involvement, commitment to the sport and hard work.

“The program has grown every year, both in support and quality of applicant,” said Cook. “We had a fantastic group of applicants last year, and I am excited to see if the 2011 class can outdo them in regards to both results and exceptional passion and attitude.”

Those chosen for the scholarship will receive a collection of SVST ski tuning tools and waxes (a $1000 value), a Ski-Man vise system and a pair of Hestra gloves.

“I want to give my sincerest gratitude for all the companies involved in this project, but especially to SVST, who has continually given back to the ski community when it needs it most,” said Cook. “I think this scholarship can make a difference in the lives of not only the recipients, but to all applicants who learn to express themselves on paper for the first time.”

Applicants must fill out an online application, provide a coach recommendation, submit their latest report card and write five short essays. The deadline to submit an application is Sept. 1.
