New Brunswick Football Officials Association Bursary

The New Brunswick Football Officials Association is offering bursaries to students graduating from any New Brunswick High School, for the purposes of assisting their education beyond the High School level.  

Two bursaries are available, each in the amount of $350. One student in the AAA Division, and one from the AA Division, will be selected to receive a bursary. Each applicant will therefore be asked to submit one application only.  

Applicants must have participated in an organized, New Brunswick-sanctioned tackle football league or Association, in any capacity, for a minimum of three years. To be eligible for these bursaries, applicants must also be enrolling in a post-secondary school in the fall following graduation.  

Each bursary will be paid to the post-secondary school on behalf of the award winner in the second semester , upon satisfactory proof of the student’s registration. The award winners’ names will be announced at their graduation ceremonies.  

Applicants should apply in writing outlining their:  

Ø      Academic standing (transcript of marks)

Ø      Athletic background

Ø      Community involvement

Ø      Financial need

Ø      Plans for future education  

The merits of each application will be judged on the basis of the above criteria. Letters of application should also include the names, addresses and phone numbers of three references, with at least one reference letter included. (Relatives of the applicant will not be considered suitable references).  

Applications must be post-marked no later than May 15th and mailed to:
