NNF is excited to announce the awarding of Athlete Support Grants to 19 skiers that represent the breadth, and depth, of talent among the next generation of American skiers and jumpers.
This grant cycle saw an especially talented application pool, drawing from a diverse set of US ski communities. The selection committee overseeing this grant cycle was comprised of NNF Board members Sophie Caldwell Hamilton, Kikkan Randall and Colin Rodgers, who, with the backing of our generous supporters, were able to award the largest amount ever in NNF grant funding among the recipients.
The cross-section of NNF grantees demonstrates US Skiing’s growing success at developing internationally competitive Nordic skiers and jumpers. Represented among those selected for funding are skiers with World Cup starts, top World Junior Championships finishes, OPA Cup podiums, and U18 Nordic Nation’s Cup wins. The breadth of programs with athletes receiving funding geographically spans from New England to Alaska, and includes clubs and schools from the junior, collegiate, and elite level. Taken together, the NNF Athlete Support Grants awarded this cycle point towards an auspicious future for US skiing, and the continued success of supporting our developing athletes on a national scale through NNF.
