FMC Skaters Scholarship

Name: FMC Skaters Scholarship

Award Amount: Typically around $1,000 per recipient (varies; multiple awards available)

Information And Eligibility:
The FMC Skaters Scholarship is an annual award program sponsored by FMC Ice Sports (Facility Management Corporation) designed to support ice sports participants who demonstrate personal excellence both on and off the ice while preparing for post-secondary education. Established in 1993, this program has awarded over $500,000 in educational scholarships to nearly 500 high school graduates who participated in ice hockey, figure skating, or recreational skating at FMC arenas throughout New England.

This scholarship celebrates student-athletes and skating participants who balance their passion for ice sports with strong academic achievement and positive community involvement. Awards are presented in a ceremony each year, typically in June, and are selected by a review committee that assesses each applicant’s achievements on the ice, leadership contributions, extracurricular and community service, and academic performance.

Because the scholarship emphasizes both athletic involvement and scholastic promise, applicants are encouraged to highlight their contributions within their sport as well as their educational goals. While amounts vary and are not fixed, recipients commonly receive awards of approximately $1,000, and multiple recipients may be chosen each cycle.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be a high school senior graduating in the current academic year.
