Amateur Hockey Association of Mt. Pleasant Scholarship Fund

The Amateur Hockey Association of Mt. Pleasant (AHAMP) has an established scholarship fund to help offset the program season fees for families in need of help. This program is funded primarily from proceeds of the AHAMP’s fundraising efforts. Scholarship funds are awarded based on financial need. Participants that have a legitimate need for financial assistance who may qualify are welcome to apply for help. Please read our scholarship guidelines carefully.

To be considered, the application must be completed in its entirety and submitted, along with any requested supporting information, to the Association no later than October 15, 2017. Late applications will not be considered. If you are applying for a scholarship, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure your application is complete and turned in to the Association before the deadline. No request will be considered without a completed application submitted to the Association. Failure to supply requested information that is verifiable, will result in application being rejected for consideration.
