There are three categories of award funds, some of which are managed by the Canadian Rugby Foundation, some of which are funds within the Foundation that are managed by the Fund Sponsors, and lastly, some of which are managed by non-Foundation organizations without a corresponding Foundation fund.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Foundation Awards<\/strong> are managed and presented by the Canadian Rugby Foundation. Application Checklist is here<\/a>. Application Form is here<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Click on the specific award for details on award dates and eligibility.<\/li>\n
  2. Awards<\/strong> are presented by various Foundation Award Funds. Information on each is below.<\/li>\n
  3. Other Awards and Scholarships<\/strong> are presented by non-Foundation organizations and listed below as a resource for interested students.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Award payments<\/strong> may be made as:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Direct payment to the student; or<\/li>\n
      2. Payment through the University<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In both cases, the same form, Grant Request Form 1<\/a> <\/strong>\u00a0is used, and the payment is treated as taxable income. The Grant Request is initially sent to Jamie Levchuk at Rugby Canada (crfgrants@rugby.ca) with a cc to Jeff Chan (jeffchan@canadianrugbyfoundation.ca). All payments are by EFT as neither the Foundation nor Rugby Canada uses cheques anymore. The Grant Request Manual<\/strong><\/a> describes the entire payment process for all Foundation payments, including awards, but the awards have a few wrinkles as follow:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. The Grant Request form must include the information on the student, including full name, SIN, mailing address, email address, and bank information (either the required\u00a0info on the form or an image of a void cheque). The payment will be made from Rugby Canada, our qualified donee, who will provide the T-4A.<\/li>\n
        2. The Foundation makes the payment to the University\u00a0towards the student's Athletic Financial Award (AFA) fund or, if not a U SPORTS member institution, the student's tuition account. The Grant Request must include\u00a0not only the student's full name, but their SIN, Student ID number, mailing address and email address, as well\u00a0as the email address at the university where the award payment should go, and the name and email address\u00a0of the University contact person to ensure the payment\u00a0goes astray. The T-4A is issued by the University.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Please check the individual award page as the deadline and address for applications varies.<\/p>\n
