ARTHUR WHITE SPORTS BURSARIES

The Arthur White Sports Bursary Funds Committee administers the disbursement of funds for the Arthur White, Scott-Thompson and Can-Amera Bursary Funds.

History of the Arthur White Sports Bursary Fund
The fund was named in honour of Mr. Arthur White and was initiated in response to the financial needs of many of the athletes that represent our community in events outside the region, including provincial, national and international competitions.

Arthur White served his community in many ways from Alderman and Mayor of the City of Galt to Member of Parliament. He was also heavily involved in the development of amateur sports in Cambridge.

In honour of this outstanding citizen, the Arthur White Sports Bursary Fund has, since 1973, continues to assist and recognize the efforts and achievements of Cambridge's finest athletes.

Purpose of Fund
The purpose of the Arthur White Sports Bursary Fund is to provide financial assistance to deserving and qualified persons according to the terms of reference of the fund.

The fund provides financial assistance to athletes who are:
a) residents of the City of Cambridge
b) a registered member of a relevant athletic group in the City of Cambridge
c) any team or athletic group representing the City of Cambridge at the Provincial, National, or International level of competition and who, at the discretion of the Trustees, is deserving of financial assistance.

History and Purpose of Scott-Thompson Fund
An original donation was given in 1966-67 to the City of Galt to set up a fund to be named after two former Mayors of the City of Galt, Mr. F. Stewart Scott (1912-1913) and Dr. Adam Thompson (1906-1907), to assist athletes of exceptional ability who are deemed to have the potential to be Canadian or International Champions. The anonymous donor, now deceased, is thought to be Mr. Joseph Stauffer - a very generous native of Galt (now Cambridge).

Applications may be made to the Bursary Fund at any time throughout the year. Applications may e submitted prior to the event but may not be considered until after the event and must have relevant receipts attached. Funds will be withheld until the competition is completed and confirmation of participation is received. Masters events will not be considered.

History and Purpose of the Can-Amera Bursary Fund:
When the Can-Amera Games ended in February 2007, the Cambridge Can-Amera Committee decided to leave a lasting legacy of the Games by establishing a bursary fund to assist local athletes. The intent of this bursary is to assist Cambridge highschool athletes who require financial assistance to play on high school sports teams.

For more information on how to access the Can-Amera Bursary please contact your high school guidance office, Phys. Ed department, or Nicole Cichello at (519) 740-4681 ext. 4652, or by email cichellon@cambridge.ca
