Once again for 2008 the Ottawa Race Weekend will award a single athletic scholarship of $4000 to an aspiring Canadian athlete.

This national scholarship is intended to encourage rising stars in the Canadian running field. To be eligible, athletes must complete an application in which they will be required to submit their running resume as well as their monetary needs for the upcoming academic year. They must be a Canadian citizen and a full-time student at a Canadian post-secondary institution. A jury will decide based on athletic ability, financial need, volunteerism and scholastic grades.

Applications are available at: RunOttawa.ca
