Welcome you to the APM Law: Scholar-Athlete Program where we recognize the dedication it takes to excel as a student athlete.

All of the lawyers at APM Law know the dedication, discipline and sacrifice it takes to be both a good student and a competitive athlete and we know how these traits can help lead young persons to success later in life.

The partners at APM Law started our Scholar Athlete Program to acknowledge grade 12 student-athletes who exceed expectations in class and in athletic competition.

How Does it Work?

Each week from September to the end of May, a grade 12 student in Nova Scotia will be selected as the APM Law: Scholar-Athlete of the Week and awarded a $100.00 scholarship to recognize their dedication.

In June APM Law will host a banquet for all our scholar-athletes and their parents-guardians. One female and one male student–athlete will be selected as the APM Law: Scholar-Athletes of the Year.

Each winner will be awarded a $1,000.00 scholarship and receive a commemorative trophy to honour their achievement.

Who Can Nominate?

Anyone can nominate a Scholar-Athlete; fellow students or athletes, parents, coaches, teammates, teachers, or school administration.

How to Nominate a Candidate

Nomination forms can be downloaded from our website or facebook page. Nomination forms should be faxed, mailed or emailed to the attention of the APM Law: Scholar-Athlete Program at the addresses listed below.

Selection Criteria

In order to be honoured as the APM Law: Scholar-Athlete of the Week, the student must attend grade 12 at a high school in Nova Scotia, have a minimum of an 80% (B) average, and provide details of their outstanding accomplishments in his or her sport(s).

Persistence Pays Off

Just like in sports and the rest of life, persistence can pay off. If a nominee isn’t selected the week they are nominated, we keep their nomination form for re-consideration during the rest of the school year. It doesn’t hurt to re-nominate a candidate and let us know about further accomplishments.

How Are Winners Announced?
