Sea Lions Scholarship Fund
ABOUT OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM:
We are very excited to start this scholarship program to help get more kids in the pool!
Using donor gifts and available Sea Lions funds, our goal is to accept two to three applications per swim session. Number may vary based on available funds. Each scholarship will cover full swim fees for one session, and will also include a team suit, team cap, and a pair of goggles. Your application will be anonymous to all but the Board President and Treasurer, who handle team records and finances. The team Board may help evaluate responses, but will not see your name or your child's name. No financial information will be requested. You may submit one application for multiple swimmers in one household.
TO DONATE TO THE FUND IN MEMORY OF HEIDI SCRANTON:
Any donations will go directly to our scholarship program to help sponsor a swimmer who may not otherwise be able to join our team.
We are honored to receive any swim scholarship donations in memory of Heidi Scranton, to whom swimming was such an important part of her life. Heidi started in Sea Lions as an 8-and-under during the 1977-78 season, with coaches Goins, Martindale, Stratton, Munger, Jan (Newhall) Simmons, and Gavenda. She continued swimming in high school under coaches Makarauskas and Meyer. She made lifelong friends on both teams and fondly recalled many fun years in Sea Lions. Please note Heidi's name with any donations made in her memory.
Donations by check can be made out to St. Johns Sea Lions and mailed to:
800 South US 27 #108, St. Johns, MI 48879
If you would rather pay with cash, please email stjohnssealions@gmail.com to make arrangements. If you would like to pay online, please see the link at the bottom of this page.
