Claude Chagnon, President of the FAEQ, wished to recall. Bearing witness to its great relevance, several aspiring Olympians and Paralympians have been supported by the Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec Scholarship Program, which assists identified junior or elite student-athletes aged between 11 and 22 years old. The objective is therefore to make a difference from the emergence of their talent, probably at the time when they need it most.\u00bb<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This is how Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec financially supported, at certain points in their careers, Olympic medalists Joannie Rochette in figure skating, Jennifer Abel, Meaghan Benfeito, and Roseline Filion in diving, Christine Girard in weightlifting, Antoine Valois-Fortier in judo, Fran\u00e7ois-Louis Tremblay in short track speed skating, and Karine Sergerie in taekwondo; world champions Erik Guay in alpine skiing and Laurence Vincent-Lapointe in sprint canoe\/kayak, as well as Paralympians Alexandre Dupont in para-athletics, Philippe Ouellet in para-swimming, and Maude Jacques in wheelchair basketball.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Eligibility Criteria<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The student-athlete must develop a post-career project, often by pursuing secondary, college, or university studies. In addition to being identified as a \"Rel\u00e8ve\" or \"\u00c9lite\" athlete by their sports federation, the student-athlete must be eligible to represent Canada at the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, or World Championships in their sport. Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec also awards at least one scholarship to a student-athlete from each of the company's operating regions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/fondationaleo.ca\/en\/Uploads\/Profils_Hydro_Quebec2018.pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fondationaleo.ca\/en\/Uploads\/Profils_Hydro_Quebec2018.pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2687 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/fondationaleo.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZONE_DE_MESSAGE_HQ2018-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/fondationaleo.ca\/en\/Uploads\/Profils_Hydro_Quebec2018.pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scholar Profiles<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/FAEQuebec\/photos\/?tab=album&amp;album_id=2254171444610780\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo gallery<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UHSRROJqB50&amp;list=PLf5byLi8YErrImKtWO2POLRl8Y6lkTrML\">Video gallery<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/console.virtualpaper.com\/dossiers_presse\/hydro-quebec\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Press Kit 2018<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montr\u00e9al, le 19 septembre 2018 \u2013 La Fondation de l\u2019athl\u00e8te d\u2019excellence (FAEQ) a remis des bourses \u00e0 29 \u00e9tudiants-athl\u00e8tes lors de la 21e \u00e9dition du Programme de bourses Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au Lion d\u2019Or.
