Grants & Scholarships

General Information

FSI administers two special endowment funds. The Timmy Munn Memorial Scholarship Fund and the Timmy Munn Needy Kids Fund. The former provides financial support for first year university students, while the latter, via the Brendon Oreto Foundation, provides funds for kids who can not afford to play their sport.

Additional grants throughout the year are provided to teams and individuals to compete at Atlantic and National events, allow youth to participate in sports when they might not otherwise be to afford it.

"One of my daughters, Piper Chambers, was sponsored this year for soccer. We are a family of 3 with no vehicle at this current time and because of this sponsorship we no longer have the financial burden of worrying about paying for cabs to get her to her soccer practices. Thank you so much for all that you do FSI. It is families like us that are so very grateful. Thanks Brent Grant for selecting us to be sponsored."
