Shea-Lynn McGaw Be Strong Never Give Up Award

For a student-athlete in their graduation year who plays high school or club volleyball and carries a never give up attitude onto the court. The award says plainly that the recipient may not be the most skilled player on the team, and asks instead for strength of character, persistence against challenges, dedication to the team, and encouragement of teammates. Applicants can put themselves forward or be nominated by someone else. The money has to be used toward post-secondary tuition or associated costs within two years of graduating, which is an unusually long window.

The date here is Paul Kane's April 10. Bellerose collects the same award until June 1 and the other schools set their own, so the deadline you are held to is your own school's, not the one printed here. Ask your counsellor which applies to you.
