Whitecaps FC and BCIT are proud to present the Community Captains scholarship program. Nika Asgari is one of five deserving high school students who have been awarded a $1,000 RESP to put towards their post-secondary education, as well as a Whitecaps FC matchday experience where they will be recognized for their achievement.
Nika Asgari, a grade 11 student at Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School in Vancouver, has been playing soccer since she was four years old.
She credits the sport for shaping who she has become today.
“Soccer really changed me,” said Asgari.
