Suzie Snook Memorial Bursary
|
Suzie with beloved daughter, Maddie |
In memory of volunteer Suzie Snook RSLGHA annually awards a $500 bursary to be used toward post-secondary education.
Eligibility is extended to either players or former players who have played a minimum of two seasons with RSL and who have been accepted/enrolled in a post-secondary educational institution.
Applications are called for in early spring and submissions take the form of a 500-word essay written by the candidate and a letter of recommendation from a member of the community. Once collated by VP Admin these are then reviewed and assessed by a panel of RSL members, past and present.
Based on whoever best represents the values that Suzie imparted on players during the years that she volunteered with RSL, a recipient for the award is then chosen by the panel. These values are:
- Balance of academics and athletics
- Fair play
- Hard work
- Compassion for others
- Interest in creative arts
