Fairview Agricultural Society Youth Leadership Bursary

In recognition of the difficulty young people face as they strive to achieve their athletic goals at a Provincial, National, or International level. Fairview Agricultural Society has developed a Bursary Program for athletes ages 8-21 for any athletic sports activity. This money may be used to help cover costs of registration, travel, meals, etc. Four Bursaries of $500 will be awarded yearly by the Scholarship Committee. Applications can be made throughout our fiscal year, which is October 1st to September 30th.

Nominations are invited from athletes themselves. Must be in letter format and accompanied by pictures and proof of activity or competition. Successful applicant will be notified within 30 days of their submission. If unsuccessful, you may resubmit your nomination the following year.
