Bursary Fund

Bursaries are a supplemental source of funding for students with demonstrated financial need; that is, they should not be treated as your primary source of funding. Bursaries are available to SBMC Players. You should be aware that we get many applicants and will only be contacted if you win. We encourage you to plan accordingly.

Eligibility requirement

To apply for a bursary, you must:

  • Bursaries shall be awarded by the South Burnaby Metro Club to any successful candidate who, for three or more years, has played on a team within the club.
  • Bursaries shall be awarded to Students proceeding from Grade 12 to any university in the Province or other post-secondary institution approved by the Bursary Committee.
  • Candidates must complete the application in full (attach additional sheet, if necessary) and provide all required information, documents and letters in order for their application to be considered.
  • The information requested on the application indicates the criteria to be considered by the Bursary Committee.
  • Bursaries are conditional, in that the funds will be withheld until such time as the recipient provides proof that he/she is attending a post secondary institution approved by the Bursary Committee.
  • A candidate must have a minimum C+ average in his/her marks.
  • A candidate must have demonstrated good citizenship, character and leadership (school and/or Club involvement.)

How to Apply

The following must accompany the application:

  1. A transcript of the student’s marks or a photocopy of the Permanent Record card.
  2. If neither is available, a typed copy of the Permanent Record Card verified by a school official signature will be accepted. Current Christmas and Easter marks should be attached if available.
  3. Letter from a club or team official or community leader, indicating the candidate’s character, leadership examples, participation in community activities, as well as information regarding the candidate’s sports abilities or other team involvement.
