Scholarships Available!

Part of the mission of the California Department of Boating and Waterways is to provide safe and convenient public access to California's waterways. To help fulfill this mission, the Department created the Aquatic Center Grant Program which makes grants available for non-profit organizations in California that offer on-the-water training to enhance basic boating safety education.

Through the Aquatic Center Grant Program, boating scholarships were made available for selected Westwind Sailing programs.

Summer scholarship programs include: Mini Mates Day Camp, Jr. Sailors Sabot Camp 1, Jr. Sailors Day Camp 1, and Adaptive Sailing Clinics.

To qualify for a scholarship, applicants must meet ONE of the following criteria:

  • Current membership in a local Boys & Girls Club (Capo Valley, Laguna Beach, or South Coast)
  • Current membership in Great Opportunities
  • Qualify for free or reduced fee school lunch program
  • Physical or Developmental Challenge (Adaptive Sail Clinics)


Please call or email to request a scholarship application/registration form. There are a limited number of scholarships available.
