Mike Serio Bursary 2010

As past president of the Scarborough Sharks Hockey League, Mike Serio has been a champion of girl's hockey in Scarborough for the past decade. Under his leadership, the Sharks hockey league grew from 60 girls to over 400 girls today. In 2003, the Mike Serio Bursary was established in recognition of Mike's contributions to the league.

The bursary, valued at $750, is available to provide players with financial assistance towards their first year of post secondary education. Two bursaries will be awarded - one to a current rep player and one to a current house league player. Players must be currently registered with the Scarborough Sharks and played a minimum of two years with the organization in order to apply.

Interested candidates should apply in writing (maximum one page) indicating why they deserve to be awarded the bursary. Two reference letters should also accompany the application.

The following criteria will be used by the selection committee to assess applications:
- volunteer contributions to the league;
- other volunteer or community experience;
- any special academic achievements, and/or school involvement;
- future career aspirations;
- personal characteristics which might provide insight into an applicant's character

Letters should be sent to the League President -Patrick Carew pcarew@rogers.com by March 13, 2010. The winners will be announced at our annual House League Championship Day and Rep League year-end banquet.
