Curl Atlantic has implemented a scholarship to curlers who have enrolled full time in a post secondary institution. The intention of these awards is to allow talented athletes to devote primary sources of time and energy to training, rather than extensive employment in order to fund post-secondary education. Recipients will be expected to devote a full-time, shared commitment to sport and education exclusively. This award is not intended to reward past achievements but rather a means to pursue further achievements that surpass the current level of performance. Priority will be given to athletes attending Atlantic universities, colleges or vocational schools.

Please complete the following application and forward to the Executive Director of Curl Atlantic, Leslie Anne Walsh ([email protected]), by May 30^th, 2010.  Along with your application please include a copy of your university or high school transcript and one other letter of reference other than your coach.  Disbursement of funds to the successful applicants should occur on October 1, 2010, upon receipt of enrolment confirmation.

Capital Works Grant

The Trustees of the Joyce Myers Trust Fund created the Capital Acquisition Grants as a means to assist member curling clubs within Atlantic Canada with capital projects.

Expenses that are of a special and/or extraordinary nature will be eligible for funding. In other words, programs and initiatives that are both unusual and occur infrequently; they are not part of the regular, day-to-day operation of the club. Listed below are a few possibilities:

• The repair, replacement, purchase or construction of a curling facility or part of a curling facility. For example, the repair or replacement of a curling club roof;
• The repair, replacement or purchase of a plant asset or piece of equipment. For example, the repair or replacement of ice making equipment.
• The purchase of special curling equipment. For example, the purchase of little rocks for a junior curling program;
• Exempt from funding are any expenses of an operational nature. For example, membership dues, utility and tax bills do not qualify.

 Curling clubs that are members of Curl Atlantic through their affiliation with their Provincial Association are eligible to apply. The application consists of a letter, prepared on club letterhead, which outlines the non-operational, special projects being undertaken by the club for which funds are required. Total expenses and a brief description of the planned projects should be provided.  Please complete the following application and forward to the Executive Director of Curl Atlantic, Leslie Anne Walsh ([email protected]) , by May 30^th, 2010.
