Donate to The Neil Robertson Memorial Scholarship
The Neil Robertson Memorial Scholarship will honour a long-time contributor to the sports community across Prince Edward Island. One PEI student will be awarded a scholarship based on the decision of the Neil Robertson Selection Committee.
The Committee will be responsible for selecting recipients, using agreed-upon criteria, following the submission of applications by athletes.
The goal of the project is to raise $10,000 to $15,000 to provide an annual student-athlete award of $1,000.00 to a deserving candidate.
A scholarship will be awarded to a PEI student who is in years 1-4 at the University of Prince Edward Island or Holland College. The student must be competing as an 'endurance sport athlete'.
