$5000 Spirit of Sandra™ Scholarships
Over the past three years, Spirit of Sandra Junior Curling Scholarships have been awarded to outstanding young curlers in all but three provinces across Canada. We’d like to enlist your support in reaching out to junior curlers from coast to coast to coast and encourage them to apply for these $5,000 scholarships.
Fifteen junior curlers from 7 provinces have already taken advantage of this opportunity to help finance their post-secondary studies in a Canadian University or College setting, while continuing to curl competitively. Brooks Roche (2015) and Veronica Smith (2014) from PEI are among the recipients of this scholarship, first presented in 2013.
Recipients must be 20 years of age or under as of June 30, 2015 and therefore eligible to compete as a junior curler.
Successful applicants will be mentored by world championship curlers, Jon Mead and Cathy Overton-Clapham, who volunteer their time to help these young athletes realize their own dreams.
The application deadline for 2016 has been extended to midnight (Eastern Time) May 30, 2016.
This is an opportunity that’s too good to miss.
As one of our Spirit of Sandra scholars said;
“I’m so proud to have been a Spirit of Sandra scholar. I’ve had so much fun, met so many wonderful people and learned so much about myself and the importance of giving back to my community”.
Please reach out to junior curlers that you know, their parents and coaches, and encourage them to take the time to complete the application for a Spirit of Sandra Scholarship.
