Tuition Reduction Scholarship Program


Triangle Rowing Club (TRC)  wants to make the sport of rowing more accessible to our community. In support of that goal, we will promote the sport of rowing through outreach programs and need-based financial aid. 

Our TRC Financial Assistance fund is an important factor in promoting enrollment by awarding eligible families the monetary boost needed to bring rowing costs within their reach. The club benefits by extending this helping hand, so we earnestly encourage those in need to apply. You can rely on discrete and thoughtful consideration.

We offer Financial Assistance two times a year, once at the start of the Fall/Winter seasons and again at the start of the Spring/Summer seasons. All members of the TRC Rowing Club program are eligible to apply for Financial Assistance funds, which cover part of the seasonal fees. Previous rowing experience is not required.

Eligibility 

Financial Assistance can range from 25% to 100% of the total season's fees. The TRC Financial Assistance Committee makes awards based primarily on financial need. In addition, without disclosing the applicant’s financial information, the Committee asks for comments from the coaching staff about the rower’s attitude, commitment, participation, and if the rower has participated in past seasons. Also, the parent/guardian of financial aid recipients must satisfy the standard TRC volunteer requirement to maintain eligibility.

Confidentiality

The application materials and review process are completely confidential. Applications are read only by the TRC Financial Assistance Committee. All committee members are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of the application and the decision-making process.

Middle School - Fall SEASON

Fall Season consists of head races where boats do not all start at the same time, instead they race against the clock in a time-trial format.  Middle school events can vary in length, but typically they are much shorter than high school events.  The distance is 1000 meters at the fall High Point regatta. 

The fall season runs from the middle of August through the middle of November.
