Athletic Awards

Being from the west coast having the support of an Athletic Award allowed Queen’s to become a reality. Without it I may never have had to chance to be a part of this incredible school. The generosity of alumni inspires me to push further both academically and athletically.

Queen’s aims to be the destination of choice for top-performing student-athletes. However, attracting and keeping the very best student-athletes is challenging in this fiercely competitive post-secondary environment. We want more of Canada’s best to choose Queen’s because of our leading academic and athletic reputation, high-caliber coaches and award-winning athletic facilities and support services. But, for many outstanding candidates, an offer of an Athletic Award is the key deciding factor.

Being a student-athlete requires a significant commitment of time and energy. To achieve the rigorous standards set upon them, our student-athletes make sacrifices and face challenges in meeting the daily demands of full-time education, competition, travel and community outreach.

Athletic Awards, which are awarded on the basis of academic achievement and athletic excellence, allow student-athletes to focus and excel in their studies and training without the worry of how to afford education and sports-related expenses. They also send an important message of belief and support that inspires students to work even harder to surpass the highest expectations.

We need your help to reach our goal of ensuring that every student-athlete who is eligible can become a part of this special Queen’s community, regardless of their financial circumstance.

Having a scholarship holds me to a higher standard. If Queen’s believes enough in me to invest in my performance, I owe it to them to perform above expectation in the classroom and on the ice.
