Al Hamilton Scholarship

“Committed to the development of today’s young athletes through athletic, academic and financial support”

Description:
We are providing every high school in Edmonton the opportunity to recommend one (1) male and one (1) female grade twelve student athlete, for consideration of an Al Hamilton Scholarship Award. For the fifth straight year, the Edmonton Oilers Alumni will be offering two separate scholarships, each for $2,000 per year for a maximum of four years of post secondary education.

The selection of the most deserving recipients will be based on their athletic and academic excellence, school activities, community involvement, leadership qualities and financial need. The individual chosen will exemplify those characteristics of an ideal student athlete.

We ask that if you feel you have a student athlete of this caliber that you sit with them and ask him or her to fill in the required information in the Application Form. We also ask that you, as a coach and/or instructor, write a brief letter highlighting the important qualities of the candidate. Any additional letters of recommendation are welcome.

The cut off date for submissions is June 30th, 2012. The recipients of the scholarships will be announced August 23, 2011

Conditions:
These scholarships, sponsored by The Edmonton Oilers Alumni Association, in conjunction with the NHL Alumni, offer young student athletes, attending Edmonton Catholic or Edmonton Public Schools, the opportunity to pursue their athletic goals, and through post-secondary education, propel them towards their ultimate success. Each high school may nominate one male and one female grade twelve student athlete. The selection will be based on individuals who show leadership qualities, athletic and academic excellence. Financial need will also be considered. Additionally, students must be involved in a sport and plan on perusing that sport within the program at a College or University. Students must complete the information in the form and one of his/her coaches and/or instructors must write a brief letter highlighting qualities of the candidate. Any additional letters of recommendation are welcome.
