Financial Aid Application

The Oakland Strokes seeks to ensure that all young people interested in rowing have the opportunity to participate, so we offer limited financial aid. We try to help those with the greatest need—families earning less than double the Bay Area median household income—but we recognize that special circumstances can make things hard for those with higher incomes.

To qualify, families must complete the financial aid application and provide supporting documents, including a tax return, before they can register. Please be as clear and thorough on the application as possible. All information you provide is confidential and reviewed only by our board’s Scholarship Committee.

To submit a Financial Aid application, please do the following:

Fill out the form below including all applicable fields.
Click on the “SUBMIT” button at the bottom of the page.
Send in a copy of the first few pages of your tax return, see instructions below.

Once your application has been received, you will get an email from the Scholarship Committee regarding registration. This email will contain instructions about how to register for the team. Please do not register for the team while the aid request is pending.

Note: All rowers MUST register online before they go out on the water.

Any field marked with an * denotes a required field.
