“I would love to get the chance to complete my goal so that I can continue to create new goals for myself. My LVF scholarship allowed me to take classes with different dance instructors and choreographers from all over the nation... it allowed me the opportunity to go out of state and learn so much in such a short period of time.”

New Unique Scholarship Opportunity
Lindsey Vonn / Aiglon Joint Scholarship
The Lindsey Vonn Foundation is proud to partner with Aiglon College to offer a female high school-aged student a scholarship to attend their boarding school located in Switzerland. Since 1991, Aiglon has welcomed 126 scholars, providing support for their continued journey into higher education.
Aiglon takes pride in the fact that half of all current scholars are funded through the generosity of parents and alumni. These scholarships are made possible through a combination of annual giving funds, endowment, private sponsorship, and reinvesting operating expenditures. An Aiglon Scholarship includes tuition fees, plus the extra costs which allow scholars to engage fully in life as a student at Aiglon.
