The Alberta Junior Athletic Award recognizes and rewards the athletic excellence of junior sport athletes and provides an incentive for these athletes to continue with their post-secondary education. This award is sponsored by the Alberta Heritage Scholarship Fund, Alberta Junior Football teams, the Friends of Alberta Junior Hockey Society and the Prairie Baseball Academy. Applicants must be currently enrolled as a full-time student in the current academic year for both fall and winter terms at a post-secondary institution in Alberta. Students in upgrading or college preparation programs may be eligible after completing one term of upgrading provided they meet the athletic requirements. Apprenticeship students may be eligible after completing one term of an apprenticeship program. Team Coaches of the designated sports team in Alberta nominate athletes based on academic standing, community involvement and athletic achievements. Submit your application to your team coach.
