The award is based on academic standing and other criteria as determined by the selection committee. Applicants must be Canadian Citizens or landed immigrants and reside in the Atlantic provinces. Deadline for applications is July 31st of each year.

THE WANDERER'S AMATEUR ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP
The Wanderer's Amateur Athletic Club was, by far, the most distinguished athletic club in Halifax. Comprised of great athletes and members, the Club became known throughout North America.
When this club disbanded, the remaining members donated some of its assets to the Canadian Paraplegic Association (Nova Scotia) to provide a scholarship for students with a spinal cord injury who are involved in some aspect of sports.
Open to students who have had an injury resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia. The applicant must be accepted at a university or institution of higher learning in the Atlantic provinces of Canada and be Canadian Citizens or landed immigrants and reside in Atlantic Canada previous to the application. Deadline for applications is July 31st of each year.
