The Manitoba Women’s High School Hockey League is reminding its players to consider applying for its MWHSHL Scholarship Program prior to the March 23, 2023 deadline.
With financial compensation handed out annually to the tune of $3,500.00 ($2,500.00 – MWHSHL Graduating Player Scholarships and $1,000.00 – McKenna Riley Memorial Scholarship), the MWHSHL Scholarship Program was established to support league players wishing to continue their involvement in sports and their active healthy lifestyles, while pursuing a post-secondary education on a full-time basis.
Eligible players are encouraged to consider applying through the application form.
Scholarships are awarded to select graduating league players entering a post-secondary institution directly from high school, who have competed in the current season, maintained a high level of academic standing, performed at a high level in hockey and other sports in their school and community, and have been involved in playing, coaching, officiating or volunteering in various activities in their school and community.
The value of each scholarship award ranges from $500-$2500 based on the number of recipients in a season. The MWHSHL Scholarship recipients are selected by committee, and announced at the annual Excellence & Leadership Awards Gala.
APPLY NOW – Up to $3500 available. Deadline March 23. Please visit the PROGRAMS section of the website to view the Scholarship Opportunties.
