Thank you for your interest in applying for a bursary with the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program. Please read carefully and complete the form to the best of your ability. If you are filling out this application on behalf of a prospective client please include your name and contact details at the end of the application.

The Whistler Adaptive Sports Program offers bursaries on a year-round basis. You can apply once per year for bursary assistance during the Fall intake. You may apply at any time but there is no guarantee that there will be funds available after the Fall intake. Applying for a bursary or being a bursary recipient in the past does not guarantee that you will receive a bursary this year. Bursaries are based on financial need and available funds.

Please note:  If you are chosen to receive a bursary, you may be required to submit a photocopy of your tax return as proof of income. Bursary funds will not be applied retroactively to programming already received.

Bursary Funding Coverage

Athletes who demonstrate a financial need may apply for a bursary to participate in our year-round or seasonal activities. Bursaries are limited to a maximum of $1,000 year round.

If you are awarded a bursary, your bursary will cover the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program activities and any rental equipment needed for the activity. Please refer to our Activities page for details on the what we offer. Please plan in advance, and make your reservations as early as possible.
