Western Communities Foundation Scholarship

The Western Communities Foundation Scholarship will be awarded to two returning Wesmen athletes, one from a men’s team and one from a women’s team. To be eligible, student-athletes must in good academic standing and have completed a minimum of 18 credit hours and be enrolled in at least 18 credit hours in the current academic term. These student athletes must demonstrate leadership, resilience, and positive character within or beyond their sport. Preference will be given to athletes who show a spirit of community contribution outside of their sport through participation in community or volunteer activities.

Established in 2001 through the vision of former CEO Scott Tannas, the Western Communities Foundation was born from a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbours. What began with a single grant in High River, Alberta, has grown into a national initiative spanning coast to coast. Today, WCF is proud to support Canadian communities by helping ensure they have the resources and opportunities needed to thrive.
