Calgary Basketball Classic Scholarship Information

A unique and major component of the HSBC Basketball Classic is the opportunity for graduating seniors to be awarded scholarships for the purposes of advancing their post-secondary education.

The Calgary Booster Club has over 50 years of scholarship selection experience with the Calgary Senior High School Athletic Association. Due to this long-term commitment to high school athletics and their expertise in scholarship management, the CBC was asked to oversee the development and delivery of a scholarship criterion that embodied the purpose of the tournament - "to foster citizenship, leadership and academics through the great game of basketball."

Each school (teacher head coach) was asked to submit their  best candidate according to the criterion. The Calgary Booster Club's Scholarship Committee will review these applications and determine who the worthy recipients will be. These fine young men and women will be announced and honored at a Scholarship Dinner on Wednesday, December 7th at Glenmore Inn.

Each successful student athlete will receive a cheque in the amount of $1,000.00 after submitting proof of documentation confirming post-secondary enrollment in a subsequent academic year. The scholarships will be presented between the Big Mountain Girls Divisional Championship and the Shaw TV Boys Divisional Championship at Crescent Heights High School on Saturday, December 10.

Scholarship Criteria:

• Part A: School and Community Involvement (50%)
• Part B: Athletic Involvement (25%)
• Part C: Academic Commitment (20%)
• Part D: The Nominee’s ability to answer the following (5%): What does basketball and my school team mean to me, and why should I be considered for this award?
