💛 Scholarships Available – Because Everyone Belongs
At Challenger Tribe, we believe every bowler deserves a chance to be part of the fun — regardless of financial circumstances. Thanks to the generosity of some incredible Challenger Tribe families, we’re excited to offer a limited number of Parent-Funded Bowling Scholarships for the 2025 season.
These scholarships are meant to help participants who would not otherwise be able to register. If cost is a barrier for your family, we encourage you to apply — no explanation needed, just honesty and heart. We’re here to support each other.
