Shawn Whitney Memorial Award

Open to students registered in Grade 9 at Dr. Gordon Higgins Junior High School who are registered to attend basketball camp to further develop their skills and knowledge in basketball. If no Grade 9 candidates are available, Grade 8 students may be considered for this award. Students may only win the award once. The award is a cash award specifically designated to cover the registration fee, transportation costs and related incidental costs to attend the camp. The selection committee is authorized to identify an alternative athletic/recreational activity that provides a positive, wholesome growth experience for a Grade 9 student if basketball camp is not available to that student.

You can apply by creating an account in our Student Award Application Portal. Applicants who are able to attend summer basketball camp should check with their guidance office for more information and are encouraged to discuss their application with the Scholarship Coordinator at their junior high school.
