Scholarship: 4 / My Results: 4

This scholarship was established by Jim Grew to honor his deceased partner Barbara Bolding. Jim Grew has been working at the national and international levels of towed water sports as an administrator, athlete, coach and team captain since 1970. Jim was inducted into the U.S. Water Ski & Wake Sports Hall of Fame in 2013 and into the International Water Ski & Wakeboard Hall of Fame in 2019. Jim’s fiancée Barbara Bolding was diagnosed with cancer in 1987 at the age of 34 and, following two bone marrow transplants, passed away in March of 1992. 

After living for forty years in Florida (on a lake of course), Jim moved to Steamboat Springs in December of 2016 and is interested in supporting female snow skiers through a scholarship as he has supported female water skiers for so many years.


This scholarship is awarded each year to a SSWSC female alumna who has completed her skiing at the collegiate level to be applied toward future academic expenses. This scholarship is awarded to the skier who best represents high achievement in academics (30%), sport (30%) and community service/volunteerism while at SSWSC and through her college experience (20%) as well as need (20%).
