Financial Assistance

Financial Support for Carson Graham Athletics

At Carson Graham Secondary, we believe every student should have the opportunity to participate in athletics, regardless of financial circumstances. We understand that the cost of registration fees, uniforms, travel, and equipment can create barriers for some families. To help ensure all student-athletes can pursue their passion for sport, ​we have listed community programs below that provide financial support for athletics.

Below are options for families seeking support. Please review the eligibility requirements and application details for each program. If you have any questions or need help applying, please contact our Athletic Director, Nicola Klaver (nklaver@sd44.ca).
