R
INK PROFESSIONALS, YOU might ask: What’s in it for me, or what can I do to add value to my skaters’
experience as an ISI member without spending additional money? Check out our new website at
isiafoundation.org to learn more, and interact with us on Facebook and Instagram. We want to hear from you! Your feedback will help us continue to improve our offerings moving forward.
While the deadline for ISIAEF
academic scholarships for the 2019-20 school year was Feb. 1 (winners will be announced at the ISI annual conference in June), high school-age skaters can start preparing now for upcoming scholarship deadlines. Tell your skaters to review the criteria on our website. Encourage them to not only take a look and apply but also to get their volunteer work completed. Skaters have the opportunity to do their volunteer service hours at ISI national events and they can check with their home rinks as well. Volunteering not only benefits the skater but also the facilities and programs that
they support. Please direct
any scholarship questions to us at
scholarships@isiafoundation.org
