Aboriginal Youth Sport Legacy Fund

The Aboriginal Youth Sport Legacy Fund supports programs assisting BC's Aboriginal youth to prosper in sport.

Created in 2002, the Aboriginal Youth Sport Legacy Fund (AYSLF) has three grant programs to support BC Aboriginal youth who are pursuing a future in sport and recreation.

Community Grants

These $1,000 grants are awarded to communities, based on need, to increase their capacity to offer sport or physical activity opportunities to Aboriginal youth.

High-Performance Athlete Assistance Grant

This award assists amateur athletes of Aboriginal ancestry, including Aboriginal athletes with a disability, who require financial assistance in their pursuit of excellence. Amount of individual grant awards vary according to eligible applications received.

The application deadline for this year has passed.

Post-Secondary Scholarship

This award assists students of Aboriginal ancestry who are pursuing educational opportunities in a sport and recreation program. Aboriginal students must be enrolled in a full-time program at a recognized post-secondary university or college. Scholarship amounts are awarded based on a limit of $1,000 per fiscal year, and students may apply up to a maximum of four years.
