I am able to qualify for this scholarship because I meet the requirements given. I play for a team
associated with BC Soccer, and I have been doing so for about 5 years now. I am my teams
captain, which shows my leadership and team working abilities. Also, I have been involved in
different soccer related roles that involve my community and my school. In my community, I
have helped coach and teach soccer to young kids at an elementary school once a week. At
school, I have been apart of the school soccer team every year and I am a big contribute to the
team. Also, from a referee role I have lined games from the sidelines when not able to play. This
scholarship doesnt require a person to have played for Team BC, which is BC Soccers team,
but I have gotten the opportunity many times to do so traveling down to Seattle, Portland, and
even a tournament hosted at UBC. That is just one more extra thing I can add to the scholarship
application.

Physiotherapist or even a Sports Physiotherapist. So I will be studying some sport related topics
like different injuries in different sports. Also, with this scholarship, you can apply for it again

study a sports related topic and be doing sports training at the same time.

http://www.coastalfc.ca/awards-scholarships
I am able to qualify for this scholarship because I have played for my club, Coastal FC for over
the required 3 years. I have been playing BCSPL for 5 years, and even when I first started soccer
I played for Coastals spring league, which was at the time called Semiahmoo. I show leadership
in my team and play a big role being captain. I have also represented my club when playing for
Team BC. My team has volunteered together to support the local community as well.

Arctic Physical Therapy Scholarship

$500 scholarship
Be attending college or university. Have achieved a GPA of 3.0 or greater during their last
academic year.
Deadline- August
http://www.studentscholarships.org/physical_therapy_scholarship.php
This would be a good scholarship to receive while attending a post- secondary institution.
Attending a top university will be expensive so receiving a scholarship during that time would
be helpful. One of the requirements for this scholarship is that you have to be attending a
college or university. I chose to pick this as a potential scholarship because it is from a physical
therapy (physiotherapy) work place, which is what I would like to go into in post secondary. In
their application you have to write an essay about how physical therapy can benefit a persons
life. I know from experience that it does and have volunteered at a physio work place and seen
for myself that it does benefit. Just having to go through a massive injury myself really made me
realize how big of an impact it made in my life and it made me want to go into the career.
