Essex Rowing relies on its program costs to meet its operating expenses. However we are also committed to making our programs available to every member of the community and as such Essex Rowing maintains a comprehensive financial aid program. This program is designed to ensure that all athletes may participate regardless of their ability to cover the cost of their involvement and is available to both youth and adult participants. If you believe you qualify, contact the head coach by phone or email us at financialaid@essexrowing.org to apply for the reduction or elimination of your program cost.

INTRODUCTORY PROGRAMS
Should registration for a particular program exceed its capacity, individuals will be placed on a wait-list. If any cancellations for that season are received, we will select individuals from the wait-list to fill those spots. If there are still individuals on the wait list at the time the season begins, individuals in question will received deferred acceptance into one of the two following seasons, based on their preference.
Payment Plans can be setup for anybody requesting such. Deadlines for establishing a payment plan are the same as for registration. If you are choosing this option you can skip the online payment step for registration being sure to indicate clearly in your email to us that you wish to setup a payment plan.
Cancellations must be made in writing (letter or email) and will be confirmed via post or email. If you do not receive a cancellation confirmation within 3 business days, please contact us at (978) 857.0199 to check on cancellation. All refunds will be issued within 2 weeks of cancellation confirmation.
Cancellations prior to the registration deadline will be refunded the full registration fee minus a $25 administrative charge.
Cancellations made after the registration deadline but prior to the start of the program will receive a credit of their registration fee towards a future program minus a 30% cancellation charge.
Cancellations made on the day of or following the start of the program and no-shows will forfeit entire registration fee.
Participants are expected to attend all practices if possible and notify the coach well in advance if required to miss a session. Rowing is a team sport and boats are for two, four, and eight-person crews plus one coxswain. The absence of one prohibits the ability of others to practice as planned, and will often prevent their ability to practice at all. With this in mind, individuals that habitually miss team practices without advance notification will be suspended from participation without any refund of dues.
