PSIA-AASI & Women of Winter Scholarship
Women of Winter and PSIA-AASI in collaboration with the National Brotherhood of Snowsports (NBS) will once again offer twelve scholarships to their membership to obtain a PSIA-AASI Alpine or Snowboard Level I Certification. This partnership allows for all three organizations the opportunity to continue to expose, educate, support and advance our missions of inclusion in the Snowsports Industry.
Application deadline: October 13, 2024
The 2024-25 application period is closed

Women of Winter (WoW) and PSIA-AASI are offering twelve scholarships for the 2024-25 season to Black, Indigenous, Women of Color and/or non-binary/gender non-conforming individuals comfortable in women-centered spaces, with an education opportunity to obtain a PSIA-AASI Alpine or Snowboard Level I certification or a Freestyle Specialist 1 (FS1) or Children’s Specialist 1 (CS1) Certification.
The Why
BIPOC women and girls are the most excluded and underrepresented demographic in Snowsports. We are a group of diverse women in Snowsports that want to see a change in our industry. We are being the change we want to see, and that change is to see more BIPOC individuals participating in the outdoors!
