Tuition Assistance

We’re grateful to offer tuition assistance through the Karl M. Collyer Memorial Fund, which is distributed each year with a primary focus on demonstrated financial need.

We truly want to make our sailing program accessible to as many young people as possible, and this fund exists to help ease the burden for those who might otherwise be unable to join.

If you’re experiencing financial hardship and would like to request assistance, we warmly invite you to complete the application below. As part of the process, please include a short statement explaining your current situation, any specific circumstances contributing to the financial difficulty, and why tuition support would make a meaningful difference for your child (or yourself).

Your request will be thoughtfully reviewed by the MCSA Board of Directors.
We consider applications in the order they are received.

Please know that sharing this information is treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality—our goal is simply to support families and help more kids experience the joy and growth that come with sailing. If you have any questions about the process or need guidance while filling it out, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
