🏅 Al Hamilton Scholarship Award

The Edmonton Oilers Alumni give this to two northern Alberta students entering their first year of post-secondary, for excellence in academics, achievement in organized sport at a competitive level, and community leadership. Applicants send a transcript, a 500-word essay and a reference letter covering athletic achievement or community involvement.

Renewable, which is what makes it worth the effort: $2,000 a year for up to four years rather than a single cheque. Two are awarded annually.
