The Founder's Club has dedicated $5,000 to the 2026 Scholarship and Award program. Each year the applicants are reviewed and determined by a CMAC Committee. The Scholarship and Award winners will be selected by June 30th of each year.

There will be three (3) scholarships for the 2025-2026 program awarded as follows, and they will be made payable directly to CMAC to defray each recipient's training program tuition for the following season. The selection criteria for the Scholarships are athletes who shows a clear determination for the sport, financial need and demonstrates efforts to give back to their community.

Gold: $1,500

Silver: $1,000

Bronze: $750

In addition to the CMAC scholarships, there will be a Maureen Hammond Award to be presented to a Senior CMAC athlete who exemplifies the spirt of Maureen. Maureen was a dedicated volunteer and member of the Crystal Mountain community. She spent many hours volunteering her time as a trustee and volunteer member for the CMFC, CMAC, and The PNW Ski Division. This will be presented to a Senior CMAC athlete who has enrolled in college with financial need, demonstrated efforts to give back to their community, and shows strong leadership on and off the hill.  This will be a cash award paid directly to the senior athlete. In the event there is no senior awarded, it will be awarded to an athlete in the program and the payment will go to CMAC to defray their training program tuition for the following season.

Maureen Hammond Award - $1750
