Church Athletic League Bursaries

For Continuing Education

Each year, the Church Athletic League supports CAL hockey players in their pursuit of post-secondary education by granting bursaries to eligible CAL participants.  Up to two bursaries will be awarded in recognition of outstanding commitment to community service, athletics and academic excellence.  These bursaries reflect the achievements of young hockey players who are committed to their community, athletics and academic achievement.  The purpose of the bursaries is to help the students to offset the high costs associated with continuing their post-secondary education.

Each approved recipient will receive $750.00 towards their post-secondary education.  Bursary amounts are subject to change depending on available funds.   

Eligibility:

All participants in the CAL shall be eligible for the bursaries subject to the conditions below: 

  1. The applicant shall be at least sixteen (16) years of age.
  2. The applicant shall have participated in the CAL for at least 3 years.
  3. The applicant shall attend a post-secondary institution in the upcoming year.
  4. The applicant shall be active in their local community.
  5. Applicants are eligible to receive the bursary only once.
