Aaron Sluggett Memorial Scholarship

Are you breaking ankles with your crossover? Crushing your dance recitals on the regular? Maybe you’re always the last one picked and you have a closet full of “Participant” awards but you love sports all the same. You might want to apply for the Aaron Sluggett Memorial Scholarship, open to high school students.

Aaron Sluggett, a community-minded and sports-loving nineteen-year-old Bowen Islander, looked poised to succeed in sciences at Simon Fraser University when his life was tragically cut short. Aaron did not have the chance to complete his studies, but it is the hope of his family that the $1,500 Aaron Sluggett Memorial Scholarship will help someone else on their journey.

Eligibility: High school students advancing to post-secondary studies

To apply, prepare an application with the following:

  • A letter of reference from a teacher, mentor, coach, or other person who can attest to your dedication to community involvement and/or sports
  • A high school transcript
  • A brief letter discussing your connection to Bowen Island

Combine all documents into a SINGLE .pdf file saved with the file name “YourLastName – Sluggett Scholarship Application” and e-mail it to [email protected]. Please include your last name in the email subject line.

Improperly prepared applications will not be considered.
Application Deadline: 11:59pm, July 5
