PCAHA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association annually awards a number of scholarships
 in recognition of academic achievement and community/school service. 
 
PCAHA-registered U18 and U21 age players, referees or team officials in Grade 11, Grade 12,
 or high school graduates are eligible to apply for these awards. 
Recipients must apply their awards towards tuition at a post-secondary educational institution.

2022-2023 marks the 46th year of operation for the PCAHA Scholarship Program. 
Since the Program's inception by the late Bruce Allison during the 1977-1978 season,
the numbers and amounts of scholarship and bursary awards have increased significantly,
thanks in large part to the generous support of the Program’s sponsors. 
Over 46 years approximately 1,355 scholarship and bursary awards with a total value of $795,850.00 have been made through the Program.

This evening a total of $22,500.00 in scholarships will be awarded to 28 deserving Minor Hockey players.
