The Winnipeg Goldeyes are proud to support Baseball Manitoba and have established three $1,000 scholarships to be awarded annually.

These scholarships will be awarded to members of Baseball Manitoba who are continuing with post-secondary education and will be maintaining their involvement in the baseball community. Scholarships will be awarded based on an individual's baseball ability, academics and service to their community.

To be considered for a baseball scholarship from the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation, please contact Baseball Manitoba at (204) 925-5765.

The 2009 scholarships were awarded prior to the August 26 Goldeyes game at Canwest Park.
