The Far West Masters Scholarship Program has been raising funds for deserving
Far West junior skiers since 1992.
All money raised comes from Far West Masters racers and supporting sponsors and donors.
All administrative involved in the fund-raising and review of athlete scholarship applications are done
on a volunteer basis by members of the Far West Masters, which allows us to distribute the funds with
no overhead to Far West Junior Athletes.
We would like to thank everyone who has supported this program, particularly the
sponsors and donors who generously contribute to
support the raffles and other fundraising efforts. And congratulations to all of our
scholarship athletes!
Our program initially raised money simply by direct contributions from Masters racers.
However, over the years the program has expanded to include more fundraisers,
including such events as:
- A season-long raffle with prizes ranging from dinners, gift certificates, ski wax and accessories to skis, poles and bindings
- A wine tasting event
- A dual race including Masters racers and junior scholarship winners

We’d like to thank the following primary sponsors for providing prizes for this year’s raffle,
along with all the sponsors and donors who so generously support this program.

Santa Monica Subaru |
The grand prize in the 2006 raffle was an 18-month lease on a brand new
2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca from Santa Monica Subaru, won by Far West racer
Mark Eisen.
We are very pleased to have Santa Monica Subaru back as a 2007 sponsor -
