*Nathan Poklar and Amber Gargul, chosen by the Governor General’s Curling Club, received additional scholarships and will be honoured at its annual general meeting on Sept. 9.

Officials say these scholarships are awarded annually in an effort to assist young competitors in achieving excellence in sport while balancing academic studies.

“We’re entering a new era of support for young curlers of all passions and pursuits. While reviewing scholarship applications over the years, it has been clear that many young curlers are eager to share their love of curling to better their communities. By offering a record-setting number of scholarships this year, we can truly recognize and support the pillars of the curling community,” said Brodie Bazinet, Curling Canada’s senior manager of philanthropy and youth impacts.

Curling Canada’s For the Love of Curling philanthropic program, introduced during the 2013-14 season, received more than $819,00 in donations and grants last season.
