Ringette Canada
BEC Sponsorship: Scholarship Sponsor - 2 per year
The Cara Brown Ringette Scholarship was established in 2002 and recognizes and rewards combined performance in elite
ringette and scholastics. Two scholarships are awarded to a registered ringette player who is actively playing ringette
at the elite level, who is entering a Canadian university on a full-time basis for the first time,
who combines academic excellence and a minimum of a B average with a strong commitment to the sport of
ringette. Recipients receive a $750 scholarship towards post-secondary education and also receive a
Scholarship Award certificate recognizing their achievements. Starting in the 2010/2011 year, Cara has increased the value of the two scholarships to $1000 each.
Cara Brown is a ringette athlete who has played competitively in both Sudbury, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta and has
participated in 18 Canadian Ringette Championships, as well as serving as team captain at the World
