Scholarships

The Ontario Amateur Softball Association has a scholarship program rewarding the scholastic and academic excellence of OASA players at the Midget and Junior level enrolled in either a community college or university.  It is funded by a plan that accepts donations and receives significant proceeds from the Jack Cook Classic held each July.

The OASA Scholarship Committee met in September and after reviewing all the applications chose the following two individuals to receive the  award. 

2011 
Ben Kinsella, Markham
Steven Ashbridge, Port Perry

Congratulations to Ben Kinsella and Steven Ashbridge on their many contributions and achievements in school, sport and to their local community.

Ben's fastball career began in Unionville and Scarborough and has now moved on to Oshawa.  He has played the last two summers with the Oshawa BB Pops.  Over the years he has done yeoman volunteer work at Markham summer youth camps, Blueview Kids Rehab School and the Red Square Community Service projects. Ben is presently enrolled in second year at McMaster University in Biomedical Engineering.

Steven Ashbridge's ball playing has taken him from Pt. Perry to Stouffville to Oshawa and in 2011 Walkerton where he played junior ball with the Ontario Jays.  His volunteer work centred mostly around softball and hockey support activities as well as with the Operation Scugog Foodbank.  Steven is presently enrolled at Loyalist College in the Borders and Customs Program.
