Professional Development Scholarships
The Robbe Mayall Ski Education Foundation (RMSEF) is proud to offer Professional Development Scholarships, providing need-based financial support for ski instructors committed to advancing their skills and professional impact.
About the Scholarships
These scholarships are designed to empower ski instructors to pursue continuing education opportunities through the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) or similar programs. By funding impactful training, the RMSEF helps instructors enhance their teaching effectiveness and elevate the skiing experience for their students.
Why It Matters
Professional development is essential for ski instructors to stay at the forefront of the sport and inspire their students. However, financial barriers can limit access to these opportunities. RMSEF’s Professional Development Scholarships remove these barriers, enabling instructors to grow their expertise and share their passion for skiing more effectively.
Recent Recipients
Each year, deserving instructors receive these scholarships to support their participation in PSIA events tailored to their individual goals. The knowledge they gain has a lasting impact, both on their careers and the ski communities they serve.

Big Snow. Big Air. Big Skiing. Big Smiles.
Alta ski instructors deliver. The good ones give us new skills, inspire a love of the sport, and fill us with a lifetime of memories.
But becoming a top-notch ski instructor is often a hard road. It takes several years to rise – to gain the training, certifications, build up clientele. It is a catch-twenty-two – all this requires personal time, money, and perseverance.
For those who stick with it the rewards are vast. But many more very talented professionals drop out due to financial or family hardship. “I love it more than anything else”, they say, “but. I wish someone could help, even a little bit.”
Robbe Mayall always helped. He took time to teach, train, inspire, and always gave money to those ski professionals who needed it to keep on going. They need you, too.
You make the difference.
Support the next generation of ski Professionals. Change Lives Forever.
