2016 NSSAF Ron O’Flaherty Scholar Athlete Award Winners

The Nova Scotia School Athletic Federation believes that school sport is an extension of the classroom and that students who choose to participate in athletic competition better themselves in mind, body and spirit. The NSSAF presents The Ron O’Flaherty Scholar-Athlete Awards to recognize the top male and female student-athletes throughout the province. The scholarship is named for the long serving Executive Director Mr. Ron O’Flaherty who retired in 2005. In Mr. O’Flaherty’s 29 years as Executive Director, his leadership and vision helped shape the Federation into the successful THE RON O’FLAHERTY SCHOLAR-ATHLETES 2015-2016 organization it is today. There are approximately 66,000 eligible students and each member school has the opportunity to nominate one male and one female for the award. Applicants are required to have a minimum academic average of 85 percent and to have represented their school in athletic competition. In recognition of outstanding ability to combine excellence in academics with excellence in athletics, we are pleased to present the following NSSAF Ron O’Flaherty Scholar-Athletes for 2015-2016.
