Regions will be Northern Alberta, Edmonton, Central Alberta, Calgary and Southern Alberta based on approximately the same number of teams in each region.
• There must be a minimum of five applicants in a region/zone in order to be awarded a scholarship.
• If a region does not meet the minimum threshold of five applicants, then applicants from that region will be pooled with region that has the next lowest number of applicants.
• If there is a vacant zone, it will be awarded to an applicant from the region with the highest number of applicants.
• If there are two or more regions that have less than the five required applicants, those regions would be combined to create a suitable number of applicants eligible for one scholarship.
