The OFSAA Student-Athlete Sports Subsidy
Participation in school sport is important and students learn many life skills, so we want all students to have equal opportunity to experience school sport.
OFSAA is offering grants for students who have difficulty finding the monies to pay their athletic fee for league competition.
The current application form can be found HERE and must be used to apply for funds this year. The Student-Athlete Sports Subsidy will also be available in the winter and spring of 2023.
Important Information for schools:
The current application must be used. Complete fully, checking off all the items covered by the sport specific fee, and making sure the *parent section* and signature are filled in.
To determine grant eligibility, the committee will consider social and economic barriers facing the student’s family as identified by the parents. It is Important that the parents include comprehensive information on the family’s current financial situation.
The maximum amount a student may receive is $135.
The endorser should be a person aware of the student’s financial situation and needs, and of the breakdown of the athletic fees (general and sport specific). An Athletic Director or Physical Education Department Head may best fit this role.
Monies are only approved for inter-school participation fees for regular league play. This grant is not intended to cover any costs associated with exhibition matches, tournament play, or additional costs incurred from qualifying for championships.
We may not be able to provide funding for all applicants, so schools should evaluate the students applying and submit forms for those that are most in need.
Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Applications must be received by the deadline date of October 31, 2022.
