The Jim Cristy Swimming Scholarship was established to provide financial assistance to students who desire to participate in Kalamazoo County competitive swimming or learn-to-swim programs, but need financial assistance to do so.

• Students who are Kalamazoo County residents or attend an elementary, middle or high school within Kalamazoo County are eligible to apply.
• Must be recommended by a professional employee in their school system or a swimming instructor and meet academic eligibility standards for participation in athletics as defined by their school system (middle and high school students only). Must demonstrate financial need.
