Manitoba Foundation for Sports Scholarships
The Manitoba
Foundation for Sports scholarship program administrated by Sport
Manitoba was established to support young athletes of Sport Manitoba
partners, who continue to participate in amateur sport while pursuing a
post-secondary education on a full time basis.
The
program's emphasis is placed on athletes who have competed at the
provincial level or higher during 2010, and who have maintained a high
level of academic standing, while showing a commitment to amateur sport
through their involvement in coaching, officiating and volunteer
activities. The number of scholarships awarded annually will vary, based
on the number of applicants and the funds available for distribution.
Preference will be given to athletes attending university or college in
Manitoba and enrolled in a related field, pursuing a career in sport.
Scholarships
are awarded to graduating high school students entering a
post-secondary institution and to students in their second or subsequent
year in a post-secondary institution. The top applicant in each
category will be awarded the Manitoba Foundation for Sports Milt Stegall
Scholarship.
In
recognition of the Winnipeg Blue Bomber receiver’s contributions to the
community, The Province of Manitoba, Sport Manitoba and the Manitoba
Foundation for Sports will provide a scholarship of $1,000 to a
graduating high school student entering a post-secondary institution and
$2,000 to a student in their second or subsequent year in a
post-secondary institution in the name of Stegall, who is the Canadian
Football League’s all-time leader for touchdowns.
Other scholarship amounts will be dependent on annual funds available for distribution.

Coaching Manitoba Bursary
Coaching
Manitoba annually presents bursaries to four students who have
demonstrated a commitment to coaching in Manitoba. Our goal is to
encourage students to continue coaching while attending a post-secondary
institution.
Students
who are, or will be, enrolled in the upcoming school term in
post-secondary education and currently coaching for a school, club or
community centre are invited to submit an application. One male and one
female student coach from the Winnipeg region and one male
and one female student from rural Manitoba will be selected to each
receive a bursary of $500 to be used towards their tuition.
