GPHA Region -
Several years ago the Grosse Pointe Hockey Association initiated the Jack McSorley College Scholarship Award. It is named after the late Jack McSorley who died before the age of 21. Jack spent 12 years in the GPHA as either a player or referee and embodied everything we hope to teach kids about athletics and academics.
The scholarship may be awarded to one or more recipients. The criteria for applying are as follows:
- High School Senior
- Minimum 3.5 GPA (provide a copy of your most recent report card)
- Five years participation with the GPHA (if player started as a pee wee or later, three years participation is sufficient).
- Interview with the scholarship committee.
- Personal written statement setting forth:
- Impact athletics had on your education and personal growth
- Extracurricular activities
- Class Leadership
- Plans to further your education
- Any other pertinent information
- Statement and evidence of above is due by February 20, 2010. Interviews will be scheduled within a week to ten days after the due date.
Please mail or drop off all required information to Bobby Mitchell at 163 McKinley, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI. 48236-3501. Phone 248 302 0913.
