The Steve Janicek Bursary Fund

The Steve Janicek Bursary Fund was established upon the passing of our father Steve on November 26, 2006. The Bursary has been funded by the friends and family of our dad and has the initial capitalization of $3200.

The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance for the post secondary education of young people from our local community who have played hockey in the local minor hockey system. These goals reflect the interests of our father.

It is proposed that the Bursary provide an annual grant in the amount of $750 to one individual. The selection of the recipient will be made by the committee which is composed of Marianne Janicek and John Janicek who are the Trustees of the Bursary Monies.

Each year in August the trustees will post a notice in the Alvinston area bulletin board inviting applicants for the award. The trustees will grant the Bursary before the end of the year.

The selection of the recipient will be in the absolute discretion of the trustees and some of the requirements to be taken into account by the trustees are the following:

  • from the local community
  • been in local minor hockey at least two years
  • enrolled in community college/university/college/trade program,
    not necessarily first year
  • financial need
  • demonstrated leadership potential

On behalf of our family, we wish to express our appreciation to those who have funded this bursary in memory of our father, the late Steve Janicek.

Marianne and John
