Montreal, February 4, 2021 — Despite the pandemic, the Quebec Athlete Excellence Foundation (FAEQ) is continuing its mission by awarding no fewer than 130 000 $ into individual scholarships to 47 star student-athletes during a virtual scholarship presentation held this noon on the Zoom platform.
«For more than 35 years now, the FAEQ has been able to count on loyal and generous partners, come hell or high water, and it makes it a duty to financially support and offer support services to the province's best student-athletes in their quest for academic and athletic success, recalled Claude Chagnon, President of the FAEQ.
At noon today, 22 recipients received an academic excellence scholarship which rewards student-athletes who maintained an average of 80 % and even more in their recent studies, while 25 winners received the academic and athletic success support scholarship which encourages good conciliation sports and studies.
