Scholarship Information
The Toronto Blizzard Soccer Club’s Scholarship Program propels dedicated student-athletes towards success in both soccer and academics. Their targeted approach includes a 6-month training program, personal media pages for exposure, showcases at top schools, and guidance in recruitment. With a history of placing graduates in esteemed universities, the program stands as a premier choice for those seeking to advance their athletic and educational careers.
Spotlight: Blizzard graduate Asta Thomson
Growing up in Guelph, Ontario, Asta Thomson remembers being told that she shouldn’t lift weights because it wasn’t lady-like. She was also told she would never make a career from playing soccer since only a small percentage of women actually get very far.
Spotlight: Blizzard graduate Sophia White

Spotlight: Blizzard graduate Rebecca Bartosh
