The George Pocock Rowing Foundation, a non-profit, provides comprehensive scholarship support so more youth can row on the water as part of a team. Scholarship funds are awarded based on need AND the participant's ability to meet attendance and participation expectations.

- Commencement Bay Rowing Club*

Occasionally the GPRF will provide scholarship support to youth rowers participating in other NW boathouses (case by case basis and as funding permits). Partial and full scholarships are available.
