The Bate Family Award is given to undergraduate students entering UVic directly from a Greater Victoria school, and who compete on a varsity team. Recipients are selected by committee based on work ethic, performance and commitment. The award comes with a $2,500 scholarship for one year, and requires an 80 per cent GPA.

LOOK BACK:

Kratz is the second Oak Bay High student to win the award in the last three years, after another rugby player Brayden Tate won the it in 2016-17. One third of the winners since 2010-11 have come from Oak Bay High, more than any other school over the same period.

Kratz is currently enrolled in the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business at UVic, pursuing a career as an entrepreneur. A scholarship to use towards his studies is included with the Bate Family Award.
