How Buffalo Pond’s Scholarship Program Works (And Why It Matters)

Over the past two years, Buffalo Pond’s Scholarship Program has provided structured, safe water education to 150 children through fully funded 10-week cohorts. Designed to remove financial barriers, the program combines low instructor ratios, transportation support, and inclusive access, ensuring that opportunity in the water is determined by need, not income.
