STUDENT-ATHLETE SCHOLARSHIPS:
Athletic financial awards (AFAs), are an athletic scholarship that is conditional to being on a USports or OUA team. All athletic financial awards related to Varsity sports fall under OUA and USports regulations.
As of the 2024-25 season, first-time entering student-athletes will be permitted to participate and receive an athletic financial award so long as they have been accepted to a member university and enrolled in degree-granting courses.
Returning student-athletes can also qualify for these athletic financial awards and must maintain a minimum average of 70% in each academic year to remain eligible. Athletic financial awards are determined by the head coach in conjunction with the Department of Athletics.
The amounts and number of athletic financial awards are at the discretion of the school and subject to OUA and USports regulations.
