The Ottawa Rowing Club Athlete Fund was established in 2008 for the purpose of assisting Ottawa Rowing Club athletes in rowing endeavours that help to promote the sport and the Ottawa Rowing Club at the international level. In 2019 the ORC amalgamated the Athlete Fund and the Brian Adams fund with the goal of supporting high performance members of the ORC as well as supporting current or prospective rowers who demonstrate financial need. Currently, the fund serves both of those groups with a two-prong approach for which any members of the club who meet the eligibility requirements can apply. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n The Ottawa Rowing Club is committed to helping all athletes experience the sport of rowing. The club offers flexible payment plans for registration fees, seasonal employment opportunities, and the ORC At<\/span>hlete Fund.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”80px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”About Funding Opportunities” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”135608ae-5bdf-48cb-afbe-4a56389a1ccd” title_text_align=”left” title_text_color=”#1A1A1A” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_toggle title=”Canadian Tire – Jumpstart Program” admin_label=”Financial Aid Resources” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#023182″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How do I apply?<\/b><\/p>\n Complete the application form available from the JumpStart website. <\/span>Individual Child Grants \u2013 Jumpstart<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”KidSport Ontario” admin_label=”Financial Aid Resources” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#023182″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How do I apply?<\/b><\/p>\n Complete the Application form available from the KidSport Canada website. <\/span>Home – KidSport Ottawa<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Their Opportunity” admin_label=”Financial Aid Resources” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#023182″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How do I apply?<\/b><\/p>\n Complete the Application form available from the Their Opportunity website. <\/span>APPLY | Their Opportunity<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Kiwanis Club of Ottawa” admin_label=”Financial Aid Resources” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#023182″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How do I apply?<\/b><\/p>\n Send an email or a letter stating your family financial situation, income and expenses, and how much you need for the program. <\/span>Direct Assistance Application Process \u2014 Kiwanis Club of Ottawa<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Maverick Youth Opportunities Fund” admin_label=”Financial Aid Resources” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#023182″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How do I apply?<\/b><\/p>\n Complete the Application form available from the Maverick Youth Opportunities Fund website. <\/span>Financial Assistance – Maverick Youth Opportunities Fund<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”ORC Athlete Fund” admin_label=”Financial Aid Resources” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#023182″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How do I apply?<\/b><\/p>\n Ensure that you have applied for all the funding options listed below prior to applying for the ORC athlete fund.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Complete the <\/span>Application Form<\/b> in <\/span>PDF<\/span><\/a> format and send it electronically to vp.competitive@ottawarowingclub.com before <\/span>April 15, 2026<\/span>.\u00a0 This is a confidential process.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at vp.competitive@ottawarowingclub.com<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”ORC High Performance Assistance” admin_label=”High Performance Athlete Fund” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#1A1A1A” background_color=”#F4F4F4″ custom_margin=”12px||12px||true|false” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#023182″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Team selection for various international competitions typically occurs very close to the event, giving athletes little time to raise money for foreign trips, when costs aren’t covered by national sporting organizations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For some events such as the Pan-Am Games, World Championships and the Olympic Games, athletes’ expenses for the actual event are fully covered (other than personal expenses).

The Athlete Fund is intended for these individuals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By supporting ORC athletes pursuing rowing at the highest levels in the sport, we are helping raise the level of athlete aspirations at the club. Not only do these individuals stand as role models for our current members but they are ambassadors for the club. Their success helps to solidify the reputation of the Ottawa Rowing Club as a competitive club able to produce high performance athletes, therefore attracting more athletes to the club. But above, all by supporting our athletes we show them how proud we are of their accomplishments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Athletes wishing to receive support from the Fund should complete the application form and submit it to <\/span>vp.competitive@ottawarowingclub.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Please find the various tiers of financial support for ORC performance athletes listed below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ottawa Rowing Club – Athlete Fund Assistance Program Tier Guide<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
