Athletics Canada Foundation will be awarding $5,000 scholarships for one male and one female multi-sport athlete with a passion for athletics who are graduating from high school and committed to continuing athletic and academic pursuits in Canada.  Click here for more information about the scholarship opportunity.  Deadline for application is April 28, 2017.

“We are committed to promoting excellence and nurturing the development of young athletes. With this mission in mind, we are proud to announce the creation of the Athletics Canada Foundation Scholarship,” said Rob Guy, Chief Executive Officer. “Athletics Canada will continue fundraising efforts to ensure the Athletics Canada Foundation Scholarship becomes an annual opportunity for graduating student-athletes.”
