How is the bursary awarded?
The bursary will be credited to your post-secondary school account in November of your first year. In order to be eligible for these funds, please submit the online forms below by September 30th. The bursary has no cash value and is not transferable. The maximum value of the bursary is $750, calculated at a rate of $5 per volunteer hour. You are required to volunteer a minimum 30 hours, up to a maximum 150 hours. (For example, 30 hrs = $150 and 150 hrs = $750).
A T4A slip for this bursary will be issued the following March and mailed to your home address.
If you do not plan on pursuing post-secondary studies immediately after graduation, you may place your bursary on hold for one academic year. Please contact the Student Financial Services to defer your award until September 30 of the year following your graduation from high school.
