NVMHA is pleased to offer scholarships for our graduating players.  Please download the packages below for more information and to apply.

North Vancouver Minor Hockey Association (NVMHA) awards a variety of scholarships annually to U18 and/or U21 players who apply and are selected as best meeting the combined qualifications set out.

Utilization of Scholarships

Players in high school will have two years after graduation to utilize the scholarship. Players who are finished high school will have two years to utilize a scholarship.

Note: Upon receipt of a written request from a scholarship winner, the NVMHA Scholarship Committee can grant an extension to the two-year limitation.

Scholarship funds must be used for tuition at a post-secondary educational institution or approved apprenticeship training course. Should the scholarship amount be greater than one year’s tuition, the remainder may be applied towards a second year’s tuition.
