Sea Lions Scholarship Fund
Applications for winter session open through December 31, 2024!
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. 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.
ALL OTHER DONATIONS:
Please follow the same instructions above, but include a note with your donation to let us know if there is someone you would like to honor or memorialize with your generous donation.

TO APPLY FOR A SWIM SCHOLARSHIP:
Register for the session first. Our swim sessions fill up, so sign up as soon as sessions open to get on the list. To then apply for the scholarship program, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page. We ask a few questions to help evaluate applications, as we may not be able to accept all applications for each swim session.
PLEASE NOTE: We will be able to accept 2 - 3 applications per swim session. Depending on need, we may decide to fund half of the registration fee of 4-6 swimmers instead. Apply first and we'll notify you with more information prior to swim session.
