Awards & Scholarships: AABRD Undergraduate & Graduate Scholarships
In 1972, the Alberta Advisory Board on Recreation for the Disabled (AABRD) was formed to act as a catalyst in the promotion of recreation services for people with disabilities through existing generic recreation delivery systems.
Twelve years later, the AABRD felt that its primary objective had been fulfilled and appointed the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association to disseminate AABRD services, awards, and scholarships.
The AABRD Scholarships recognize academic achievements, contributions to, and endeavours in advancing the field of recreation for people with disabilities.
The scholarships (graduate: $3,000 and undergraduate: $1,000) are intended to assist Albertans to advance their education in the areas of recreation for people with disabilities (e.g., recreation administration, adapted physical education, rehabilitation medicine or other related programs).
Support for the AABRD Awards is provided through a Legacy Fund, managed by the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
Award Criteria:
Selection is based on the following considerations:
- Academic record
- Alberta residency
- Related course work
- Memberships, awards, and distinctions
- Work and/or volunteer experience in the field of recreation for persons with disabilities
- Future plans
