All players’ grades are monitored closely by the team, their education advisors and school counselors. If necessary players receive tutoring or assistance to ensure they perform academically to their full potential. All costs associated with players’ education whether high school or post secondary courses are covered by the Club. For players who want to succeed both academically and in hockey, the Prince Albert Raiders and the WHL offer the opportunity to reach for the top of the class both on and of the ice.

The Prince Albert Raiders and the WHL understand the importance of setting goals both on and off the ice. The WHL is the leading provider of full academic scholarships to its graduate players.

The WHL Scholarship is fully guaranteed, for every season a player participates in the WHL, he is entitled to a full year of tuition, textbooks and compulsory fees to a Canadian or American post secondary institution of his choice. This is over and above any other grants or bursaries provided by the institutions themselves to the student athletes. Once a player graduates from the WHL and provided he does not sign a professional contract with  an NHL, AHL or European Club, he is eligible to obtain a fully indexed scholarship for each year played in the WHL.

The WHL provides players with a bona fide University and College hockey scholarship option. By playing in the WHL, players can take advantage of one of the finest post-secondary scholarships available.
