The Oakville Soccer Club (OSC) held its 10th Annual Scholarship Awards Presentation at the Glen Abbey Golf Course on July 25, 2019.
During this luncheon, eight outstanding young ladies and gentlemen were presented with scholarships based on their contributions to the Club, as well as academic achievements and service to the community of Oakville.
The Oakville Soccer Club prides itself on being committed to providing dedicated members of the Club and community with assistance in their pursuit of post-secondary education. Through this program, OSC provides $12,000 in scholarships annually, and has awarded over $100,000 to worthy recipients since the programs’ inception ten years ago.
