Winnipeg Goldeyes - Manitoba Baseball Association "Field of Dreams" Scholarship Program

The Winnipeg Goldeyes Baseball Club, in conjunction with the Manitoba Baseball Association, will provide three (3) $1,000.00 post-secondary scholarships to applicants who meet the required criteria. The criterion is as follows:

1. Must be a Manitoba resident.

2. Must be enrolled, or planning to enroll, in a post-secondary institution (Canada or U.S.). Scholarships may be conditional in that funds will be withheld until such time as the recipient provides proof that they are attending, or will be attending a post secondary institution.

3. Must be a registered member of the Manitoba Baseball Association (player, coach, or official).

4. Must complete the application form and submit by the required July 12, 2010 deadline.

5. Requirements for selection shall include, but not be limited to: athletic achievement in baseball, academics, and citizenship.

6. The following must accompany the application before it will be considered:

a. A letter from the Principal or Post Secondary Administrator certifying the candidate's scholarship, character and ability, and participation in school activities.

b. A final transcript of the student's marks for grade 12 or a certified photo copy of the Permanent Record Card. If neither is available, a typed copy of the Permanent Record Card verified by the Principal or Post Secondary Administrator's signature will be accepted. OR

c. If currently in a post-secondary institution, send only a certified photocopy of university grades

7. Disbursement of scholarship funds is on a "one-time" basis, and is not intended as a yearly subsidization program.

8. Athletes receiving carding from Sport Canada or the Province of Manitoba are ineligible.

The selections of the "Field of Dreams" Scholarship program selection committee are final. Winners will be notified of their selection, and will receive their cheques by mid-August of 2010
