ECRHA Announces Scholarship Opportunities

The Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association has created two scholarship opportunities to honor the memory of two ECRHA members: Pennsylvania State University Roller Hockey Club President Ron Dax and ECRHA staff member Jeffrey Mosenson. Both young men died in weather-related car accidents while pursuing college degrees and playing for or working for the ECRHA. These two scholarships are among the first ever scholarships for collegiate roller hockey in the United States. Other scholarship information is available at www.crhl.net with scholarships being offered by the Southwest Collegiate Hockey League (www.schl.org) and USA Hockey Inline. The ECRHA Ron Dax Scholarship will be awarded to an eligible current ECRHA member, while the ECRHA Jeffrey Mosenson Scholarship will be awarded to an eligible high school senior (incoming college freshman) who joins a member club or begins his/her own at college. Both scholarships are now currently available for the 2003-2004 ECRHA season in the amount of $600.00 each, which must be used exclusively for tuition, books and/or school supplies. For the 2003 season only, the application date will begin June 15th and has been extended to August 1st, 2003 due to the late availability of this material. Ordinarily, the open application process will begin each year on March 1st and close on June 31st. Committee reviews will take place from July 1 through the time of the award as designated for each scholarship. For more information on these scholarships, please review the requirements and application in the ECRHA Scholarships section of the web site.
