PCAHA Scholarship Overview
For All PCAHA Midget Players
and All PCAHA Juvenile Players
Each year the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association awards a number of scholarships in recognition of academic achievement and community/school service combined with hockey participation. To be eligible, a player must be:
1) A registered player with any team in the PCAHA Midget or Juvenile divisions, and
2) In Grade 11 or 12 or graduated from high school.
These awards should not be confused with the Special Bursaries awarded in conjunction with the annual Scholarship Tournaments, for which only participants in those events are eligible.
When choosing the successful applicants, the selection committee will be placing special emphasis upon
- academic achievement and
- good school and community participation.
Recipients must utilize scholarship funds towards tuition at a post-secondary educational institution (university, community college, technical institute, vocational college, etc.).
The PCAHA Scholarship Program Application Form is available on the PCAHA web site in MS Word and PDF versions. To apply for PCAHA scholarships, please complete the form and submit it together with:
- a personal letter containing an outline of your qualifications
(including academic achievements, community/school participation and
service, hockey involvement, and other qualifications) plus any
additional comments you feel will assist the selection committee when
considering your application;
- a letter of reference from a designated executive member,
Association official, or team official from your Minor Hockey
Association;
- a letter of reference from your school Principal or Counsellor;
- copy of your most recent school report card; and
- copy of your transcript of high school grades.
Forward the completed application to the PCAHA Central Office, #114-3993 Henning Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V5C 6P7.
Please note that the closing date for submission of applications is Friday, March 29, 2013 . Applications must be received at the PCAHA Office on or before that date to be eligible for consideration. Late applications will not be considered.
Good luck!
