THE UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA Nov 3, 2000

Five student athletes awarded scholarships

Last month, five UVic students were awarded scholarships worth up to $8,000 from the Petro-Canada Olympic Torch Scholarship Fund, created as a legacy to the ’88 Olympics. The program’s aim is to encourage young Canadian university, college or technical institute athletes and coaches to balance their pursuit of athletic excellence with the achievement of their educational goals. The Canadian Olympic Association, Petro-Canada’s partner, administers this program. Two recipients, Krista Thompson and Albert Burgund (profiled in the links below), are UVic graduate students. Three others — Mike Crowle, Erin Rearden and Alia Zawacki — are UVic student athletes. Four other recipients — Gavin McKay, Mike Van Bussel, Julie Corbiel and Ryan Jazic — are enrolled at the UVic-based National Coaching Institute.
