The Capital Area Minor Football Association awards bursaries to students graduating from Capital Area High Schools, for the purposes of assisting their education beyond the High School level.
As much as $1,000 will be awarded at the end of every school year. This amount may be given to one student or may be divided up among as many as four students. Students graduating from any Capital Area High School are eligible to apply.
Applicants must have participated in an organized tackle football program, in any capacity (as a player, official, coach, manager, etc.), for a minimum of three years. To be eligible for these bursaries, applicants must be enrolling in a post-secondary educational institution school in the autumn following graduation from high school.
