Pay It Forward Scholarship
History
Pay It Forward Loonie Fee: Each provincial championship will charge an additional $1 for each participating student and remit those funds to the ASAA office after the championship. 100% of funds will be directed into an ASAA scholarship fund to recognize student athletes who give back to their schools and communities by either coaching or officiating in school or community sport.
Information
Available for school aged students who contribute their time to coaching and officiating in either the school or community.
We want to reward those students who “give back”. Sometimes opportunities present in the community, not the school.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must be a current grade 12 high school student scheduled to graduate the same year as the application submission.

- The student must demonstrate their involvement in non Covid-19 impacted years as a volunteer for any grade 10, 11 and 12 year, in either ASAA or community sports. *Applications will be accepted for students even if no volunteering was availble for all three years, (10, 11, 12) due to Covid restictions. In this instance please discuss past or future plans you have to volunteer. This may include involvement through roles such as:
- Coach, Assistant Coach;
