(by Barry Moroz, Sport Manitoba Communications)
The Manitoba Foundation for Sports through Sport Manitoba has announced that 55 student athletes will receive scholarships totaling $41,000 for the
2004/05 academic years. The Manitoba Foundation for Sports Scholarship Program supports young athletes of Sport Manitoba partners who participate
in amateur sport while pursuing a post secondary education on a full time
basis.
"Sport Manitoba congratulates each of this year's students for their athletic and academic achievements which have made
them deserving of a scholarship," said Sport Manitoba President and CEO Jeff Hnatiuk. "It also
provides us with an opportunity to recognize the contribution these young Manitobans have made to their communities and amateur sport through
coaching, officiating and other volunteer activities."
28 student athletes entering the first year of a post secondary program will receive $500 scholarships. 27 student athletes entering the second or
subsequent year of a post secondary program will receive $1,000 scholarships. 17 of the recipients are from rural Manitoba.
The program's emphasis is placed on athletes who have competed at the provincial level or higher in the previous year and
who have maintained a high level of academic standing. Applicants must also demonstrate a
commitment to amateur sport through their involvement in coaching, officiating and volunteer activities. Preference is given to students
continuing their post secondary studies in Manitoba.
The Manitoba Foundation for Sports Scholarship Program was established in 1992. The Foundation has since awarded 803 scholarships totaling $625,417.
