Ontario Youth Scholarships (Updated) Posted on Oct 31st, 2007
Thanks to the grants from the now folded Ontario Ski Council and prudent savings by the CANSI Ontario board, CANSI Ontario is again happy to offer financial support to young instructors or those who target young people from 16 to 21 years of age residing in Ontario.
Specifically, the following three types of scholarships are available upon asking:
1. Young Instructors Scholarship
100% course fee refund to all youths who successfully complete a CANSI Ontario certification or preparation course. For all other courses and successes we refund 25% of the course fees.
2. Youth Leader Development Scholarship
100% course fee refund (spread over 3 years) to any CANSI instructor who attains level II+ certification and is actively running CANSI courses targeting young skiers - especially those who are interested becoming Nordic ski instructors or coaches.
3. Youth Educational Scholarship
100% course fee refund (spread over 3 years) to any CANSI Level II+ instructor who is helping Nordic Ski Schools or clubs to develop and promote Nordic skiing educational programs that appeal better to youths.
Note:
- For these scholarships, the definition of youth is people from 16 to 21 years of age, residing in the province of Ontario.
- To apply for these scholarships, submit a letter outlining why you should be awarded these funds, to CANSI Ontario (attention myself). You can send it either by post mail or by email. (See Ontario Contact Us page for the address information.)
- You must apply prior to the CANSI course for which you are seeking funds.
- Applications will be reviewed at most once a month by the CANSI Ontario board. Therefore, please do not expect a shorter response as to whether your application was accepted or not.
- If your application is approved, the funds will be sent to you within two weeks of CANSI Ontario's fiscal year end (April 30) to the mailing address specified in your application letter.
