Scholarship Fund
The Loveland Masters board has set up a scholarship fund for high school swimmers going off to college. The funds for this account come from your donations, in addition to 10 percent of the profits from the annual Polansky Sweetheart meet. Once the fund has grown to an appropriate amount, the board will be examining an appropriate manner in which to distribute the funds to deserving students within our community. Make a donation to the Scholarship fund today via Venmo.
