Scholarships & Bursaries
In 2009, the Board of Directors approved the development of two financial assistance programs to university/college bound athletes playing with our member clubs.
The program consists of two components designed to assist YRSA players in their pursuit of post-secondary education – entry scholarship and varsity bursary.
Each season, two YRSA members, one male and one female, will be selected from all qualified applicants to receive $1,500 entrance scholarships. This is designed for graduating grade 12 studies who have been accepted into a Canadian post-secondary program commencing in September of the current season.
The bursary program is designed for YRSA players currently playing varsity soccer for Canadian universities/college teams. Available funds are divided annually amongst qualified applicants to a maximum established by the board.
2010 YRSA Scholarship Recipients
The YRSA Entry Level Scholarship program is designed for graduating secondary school students playing soccer for our clubs by providing assistance in furthering their education at Post-Secondary Canadian Institutions.
The YRSA Board recommended three recipients, two female and one male, be awarded scholarships for 2010.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to recognize the following three players. They are:
- Miss Teagan Maier-Downing, Markham S.C.
- Miss Nastasia Delmedico, Woodbridge S.C.
- Mr. Andrew Walton, Woodbridge S.C.
Teagan will be attending the University of Western Ontario for Biomedical Sciences; Nastasia is pursuing an English major at York University and Andrew will be attending Western pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Each recipient will receive a $1,500.00 Scholarship
Congratulations to Teagan, Nastasia and Andrew and, on behalf of the YRSA, I wish you all the best as you further your education!!
