2024 Fort Saskatchewan Minor Sports STRIKE Scholarship

In partnership with STRIKE Energy and their generous annual donation toward our operations, FSMSA is proud to offer the 2024 STRIKE Scholarship to its members.

Eligibility

• Applicants must be enrolled, either full-time or part-time, in a post-secondary institution in Fall 2024 or Winter 2025.
