Nathan Regier Memorial Scholarship

The Nathan Regier Memorial Scholarship is awarded each year to individuals within the Aldergrove Soccer Club who exhibit a commitment to the game of soccer as well as community involvement and scholastic aptitude.

Each year the Aldergrove Youth Soccer Society awards up to four scholarships to current soccer players in the Aldergrove community. The scholarships are presented at our Annual General Meeting in April each year.

Application Deadline: February 28

Applications should be delivered or mailed to the Club Treasurer no later than February 28 of any year.
