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. 

2012 
Tom Fischer, Teeswater
Brendon Bonnor, Greensville
