Vanier College’s Alex Moore receives a Hydro Quebec-FAEQ Scholarship

Vanier College is pleased to announce that Social Science student Alex Moore is one of the recipients of a $4,000 scholarship from Hydro Quebec in collaboration with the Fondation de l’athlète d’excellence du Québec (Québec foundation for athletic excellence, or FAEQ). In all 30 student athletes received Academic Excellence scholarships that recognize outstanding academic achievements and Academic and Athletic Support scholarships to encourage a healthy sport/study balance.

Alex Moore is an Olympic wrestler in the 74 kg category. He came in 8th at the 2016 Junior World Championships and won a Gold Medal at the 2016 Junior Pan-American Games. Alex is known to be a technical and daring wrestler. Having changed weight category, he is now working on increasing his strength. Alex would like to win the Canadian Junior and Senior Championships and one day become World Champion. His long term ambition is a career in sports management.

Alex joins the ranks of past Vanier recipient of FAEQ scholarships, wrestler Dorothy Yeats, and Vanier graduate, synchronized swimmer Brooke Brimo, now attending UQAM, who is also one of this year’s scholarship recipients.

The Hydro-Québec Scholarship Program was established in 1997 with the aim of rewarding elite student-athletes and supporting their development before they are renowned. The scholarships recognize not only athletic accomplishment and potential but also academic success and excellence.

Congratulations to Alex Moore.
