To be eligible for the Sawyer Baliff Memorial Scholarship, a child must be a 2018-19 KOHA member and needs to be nominated by the player’s current year KOHA coach (or an assistant coach), KOHA skills coach, KOHA Board member or KOHA staff member. 

The Sawyer Baliff Memorial Scholarship will provide merit based scholarship(s) that the honoree can apply to their 2019-20 KOHA season fees.  These funds are non-transferrable and have no cash value.

The recipient of Sawyer’s scholarship will be the type of child that represents the type of player, teammate and person Sawyer was and how he is remembered.  

Eligible recipients will have demonstrated a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and leadership on the ice and in the locker room. He or she will have exhibited sportsmanship throughout the season, strength for teammates when needed, good character, and a smile.

There are many different scholarships out there for children who are naturally gifted - whether it is in sports or academics. The intent of this scholarship is to recognize those kids who have shown that they have the HEART to work, and compassion for those around them, just like Sawyer!

In addition to having the above, the potential honoree must meet the following criteria:  

  • Be a current KOHA member for the 2018-19 season

  • Love of the game

  • Exhibit leadership skills

  • Supportive as a teammate

  • Be a GOOD person who treats others with respect and empathy.

Please submit your nominations for any player(s) on your team that you feel exemplify the character traits that meet or exceed the criteria above, and include any other information you feel would be pertinent in the scholarship committee’s determination process.

NOMINATIONS ARE DUE BY 5PM ON MARCH 4, 2019  TO THE KOHA OFFICE:
