AIWFA SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
PREAMBLE
The Alberta Intercollegiate Womens Fastball Association (AIWFA) is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to establishing women's fastball as a sanctioned Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) sport. To this end, AIWFA has established a post-secondary women's fastball league at the sport club level--a league open to all colleges and universities in Alberta. In addition, AIWFA has established an academic / athletic scholarship program to encourage women to continue playing softball at the post-secondary level. The scholarships are in recognition of the academic and athletic commitment required from student athletes as well as the potential loss of income for students when they participate in intercollegiate athletics.
