Scholarship funds are available from Swigert Foundation for youth that want to play ice hockey or ice skate, who qualify for assistance, and who are willing to help earn their scholarship by completing reporting requirements.

|
Be willing to abide by the rules and regulations of the game, the facility and requirements of the coaches, and practice good sportsmanship; |

Demonstrate the need for financial assistance by sending the front 2 pages of last year’s tax return/1040. You may black out all social security numbers. Please explain any drop in current year income. |
|
During the playing season, you will provide the Foundation with a school or hockey (preferable) picture/snapshot and a copy of school report cards for at least 2 quarters or final school year’s report). At the end of the season, we would like the student to tell us how their season went. |
