 Rapid City Racers Scholarship

The Rapid City Racer Scholarship is a program that has been created to assist children in need of financial aid to join the Racers.. The Scholarship provides for full or partial payment of monthly dues for qualified children.  In addition, a team swim suit, cap, and goggles will be provided.  Entry fees for all RCR hosted swim meets will also be covered.  Depending upon the Scholarship Fund, travel costs to out of town meets may also be covered.  

Children who qualify for free or reduced school meals are eligible for the scholarship.  In addition, all scholarship children must meet the basic requirements to join the team.  To maintain scholarship eligibility, swimmers must attend at least 75% of practices for their group and complete parental volunteer team requirements.

Scholarships are awarded based on the above criteria and funded on availability.  The Racers age requirement is age 6 to 18. Younger children will be considered on a case by case basis.

The Scholarship fund is funded in part by community donations.
