The Elijah Kerslake Skateboard Scholarship exists to break down barriers to accessing skateboarding. This scholarship makes skateboarding accessible to youth from low-income families, Indigenous youth, Newcomers (immigrant or refugee), 2SLGBTQ skaters, and those facing other barriers to access.
Applications are accepted primarily on a basis of financial need.
Applications are also open to youth homes, recovery centres, rural Indigenous communities and youth organizations interested in starting skateboard programs.
Applications are also considered for individuals aged 18-30 experiencing acute life circumstances like homelessness, disability, addiction, or other challenges.
