Apply for scholarship
Who can apply?
Two scholarships will be available annually starting in 2017. Application to one Adrian Campbell Scholarship is open to any Nova Scotian student completing Grade 12 and entering a post-secondary educational program. The other Scholarship is reserved for a student from the Annapolis Valley (Hants, Kings or Annapolis Counties).
In 2021, an additional $1500 Scholarship will be awarded in memory of Wyatt Davies of Horton High School. Wyatt passed away in his Grade 12 year eleven months after his cancer diagnosis. In appreciation of the example Wyatt set through his positivity, kindness, and strength, this award will be presented to a student from Wyatt’s 02 class, and decided in conjunction with the school and family. No application is necessary.
What is the selection criteria?
The intention in awarding these scholarships is to assist student athletes entering their first year of post-secondary education with the costs of competing in individual, endurance sports for which there are no institutional scholarships, with preference being given to cycling and running, as these were of special interest to Adrian.
The Scholarship Fund Association is looking to support candidates who demonstrate the following:
- Sportsmanship
- Proven interest and ability in the pursuit of an individualized endurance sport at a competitive level
- A dedication to their studies with a track record of academic success
- A well rounded life style including non-academic interests and leadership skills (this may include team sports)
- Community involvement and volunteering.
Please note that individualized endurance sports require that competition occur at the individual level and that the sport necessarily involves sustained activity while enduring a high level of physical stress. Endurance sports typically require speed, strength, and anaerobic and aerobic fitness.
What is the application process?
- An essay outlining how the candidate meets the above criteria is required
- Two letters of recommendation by a non-relative of the candidate should accompany the application
When should I apply?
Interested candidates should apply:
- During their Grade 12 year of High School.
- They should indicate the Colleges, Universities, or other post-secondary institutions to which they have applied and/or been accepted.
- Applications should be received on or before April 30.
What is the amount of each scholarship/bursary?
$1,500.00
