Justin Morneau Scholarship
Our baseball “Home Town Hero,” former MLB player Justin Morneau, has supported New Westminster Little League with funds for new equipment and field upgrades over the years. In 2008, Diamond 5 in Moody Park was renamed in his honour. In 2009, our league introduced the Justin Morneau Scholarship. Since that time, we have fundraised for and awarded over $25,000 in scholarships!
Up to 3 scholarships (each in the amount of $1,000) are available annually to youth who are graduating from Grade 12 in the current year and who have played at least 2 seasons with New Westminster Little League. Applicants must be intending to pursue post-secondary studies, such as an apprenticeship program, trade school, college or university, and they must include a letter of recommendation with their application.
Applicants must submit their completed application form (see below) and a reference letter to info@newwestbaseball.com by Saturday, June 1st, 2024.
Award(s) will be presented at the 2024 spring season Closing Ceremonies on Saturday, June 8th, 2024. Time and location to be confirmed.
