SCHOLARSHIP/BURSARY RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED

Sport Newfoundland and Labrador announced the recipients of scholarships/bursaries during the 19^th Annual Sport Newfoundland and Labrador Scholarship Presentation during a reception at the Powerplex in St. John’s on May 14, 2010. Eighteen recipients received a scholarship/bursary in the amount of $500 for their contribution to sport during 2008. One recipient received the Frank T. Butler Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $1000.

The Sport Newfoundland and Labrador Scholarship/ Bursary Program is designed to provide financial assistance to qualifying amateur athletes, coaches and officials (who are enrolled in a post secondary institution) to help offset the costs of training and competition. 

Sport Newfoundland and Labrador President, Doug Fowler says, “Again this year we are extremely pleased with the quality of applications received by the scholarship committee. The amount of time these athletes, coaches and officials dedicate to their sport while maintaining excellent grades is outstanding and we are pleased to be able to assist them.”

For the third year Sport Newfoundland and Labrador is providing the Frank T. Butler Memorial Scholarship. Frank was the backbone of Memorial Athletics for close to 30 years and his devotion to the development of university sport in Canada and to the growth of the CIS as a governing body helped interuniversity sport experience significant growth and popularity across the country. Frank’s impact on sport was immeasurable, contributing as an athlete, coach and administrator. Jane Brodie of St. John’s was the recipient of the Frank Butler Memorial Scholarship valued at $1000.
