GOING BEYOND RUGBY
TIRF believes in eliminating barriers that prevent young people from reaching their full potential both on-and-off the pitch. Thanks to the generosity of the Doncaster Foundation, Eventi, YTM Capital, the Myers Family and the Webb Family, TIRF is able to offer post-secondary scholarships and bursaries to eligible players. The aim of the TIRF Scholarship Program is to produce outstanding leaders and citizens willing to give back to their local communities through the development of rugby and other social initiatives.
