About the Scholarship
The Diane Hicks-Skiyente PACRAT Scholarship honors Diane's legacy by supporting women who are passionate about skiing and committed to participating in PACRAT Racing on a Skiyente team.
Each year, Skiyente awards a $250 scholarship to a member who demonstrates financial need, enthusiasm for racing, and a commitment to supporting women in the ski community.
Our goal is simple: help reduce the financial barriers that might otherwise prevent someone from participating in the sport they love.
Who Can Apply?
Skiyente members
You must be an active Skiyente member in good standing
PACRAT racers
You must be registered for the 2027 PACRAT season on a Skiyente team and committed to participating in your scheduled races.
Applicants who would benefit from financial assistance
Priority is given to those for whom the cost of racing represents a meaningful financial barrier.
Racers of all experience levels are encouraged to apply. You don't need to be the fastest racer or have years of volunteer experience to be considered.
How is the Recipient Selected?
Applications are evaluated based on financial need, commitment to PACRAT racing, and contributions to the women's skiing community. These factors receive roughly equal consideration, with priority given to applicants for whom financial assistance would make a meaningful difference in their ability to race.
