Description
The Doug Westcott Memorial Scholarship
Click Here for the Application


Doug Westcott loved his chosen profession. As a physical education teacher and Athletic Director, he derived much satisfaction from his career. He loved working with youths, and spent endless hours beyond his profession as a volunteer for Section V, serving both the football and basketball committees. The last fourteen years of his life found Doug as a most capable leader the Section V Boys' Basketball Tournament Committee. His sudden passing in November of 1999 left a void not only on the committee itself, but on the community he loved and the sport he loved. This scholarship will preserve the memory of a man who wanted the Section V Tournament to get better each year. It did, under his leadership. Now, Section V athletes will be able to receive financial help for continuing their education in Doug's memory.

The Doug Westcott Memorial Scholarship, a one-time award of $500, will be presented to a Section V Basketball player who is planning to attend a four-year accredited college or university for the purpose of majoring in either physical education, sports management, or another related field. It is sponsored by the Crane-Hogan Structural Systems of Spencerport, NY.

Applications can be printed from the website by clicking on the link at the top of this page, or obtained from your Athletic Director's office at your high school. Applications should be received on or before the deadline date on the application. This award will be made at the Class AA1 Final Game at the Blue Cross Arena
