Leki will award its first annual Leki Full Ride Scholarship to the Ligety-Weibrecht Ski Camp, which will give one deserving junior ski racer the opportunity to train with premier level coaches at one of the top summer training locations in the country.
The scholarship includes registration fees for one week of camp at Mt. Hood, air travel to and from camp and Leki race gear.
Leki first sponsored Ted Ligety in his 2015 quest for a World Championship gold medal, and it is now partnering with him to reward a deserving up-and-coming skier.
Leki will offer this scholarship to one ski racer, male or female, who demonstrates not only financial need but also a commitment to hard work both on and off the slopes. Skiers are asked to submit a short essay on how they would benefit from a week at the camp and how they have been an asset to their community. Applications can be submitted here through SkiRacing.com, and will be accepted through April 15, 2017.
The Ligety-Weibrecht Ski Camp runs three sessions in summer 2017.
