Scholarship Selection:
A scholarship selection committee consisting of the RMCC Program Manager and one or two RMCC board members will review applications received by the deadline based on the key selection criteria, and make a recommendation regarding the award recipients at the January board meeting. The selection committee will also seek feedback from the athlete’s RMCC coach on the athlete’s demonstration of the True Sport Principals.
The RMCC Board will make the final decision in January’s board meeting and announce it by the AGM in early February of that year.
