Scholarships

For High School Dipsea Community Members

The Dipsea Foundation awards scholarship of $5,000 to college bound high school seniors who have participated in or volunteered for the Dipsea race. Awards are based on financial need, an essay, community service, leadership, athletic performance, and academics.

The Dipsea Race Foundation awards Dipsea Race participants – as runners or volunteers – because we believe that the self-discipline required to train for a difficult cross country-race and the sense of community service demonstrated by volunteering are virtues that can be transferred to other aspects of life.

The Scholarship Committee of the Dipsea Race Foundation awards scholarships based on a variety of criteria, including the applicant’s financial need, performance of community service, academic and athletic performance, Dipsea Race involvement as a race participant or volunteer, and the sincerity and quality of the personal essay.  The Committee encourages well-rounded individuals and seeks to support their continued development.

The Scholarship Committee reviews scholarship applications and reports back to the Board of Directors of the Dipsea Race Foundation.  The members of the Committee include Jason Cheng, Lisa Trustin, and Chuck Miller, who chairs the Scholarship Committee and also is a member of the Board of the Dipsea Race Foundation.

PLEASE NOTE: 
The 2023 Dipsea Race is scheduled for June 11, 2023
The deadline for Dipsea Scholarship applications is May 13, 2023.
