Provincial Association

Niagara College is a member of Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA).

Academic/Athletic Awards (Scholarships)

Niagara College offers financial Awards to student-athletes, but so do many other Ontario Colleges.

Awards are made on combined basis of Academic and Athletic achievement - it takes a lot of dedication, hard work and discipline to win one. We see great value in our approach.

Student-athletes at Niagara are strongly motivated to work toward a goal. Every student -athlete has an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to earn an award; best of all, every semester marks a new beginning, a clean slate, for all varsity competitors.

There are many excellent high school athletes who will be attracted to colleges, which offer entrance awards in athletics, and naturally so. Niagara offers a different challenge-come to Niagara and earn your reward.

The serious student-athlete will respond to this challenge. It will pay dividends during and beyond his or her playing career. Consider the "Niagara Difference".

Scholarship recipients are determined by the Coaching Staff and the Athletic Department. Scholarship are available in the following sports: Men's & Women's Basketball, Men's & Women's Volleyball.
