The purpose of these awards is to give deserving students the chance to further their education at an accredited post-secondary institution.
Academic Achievement: The student must have attained an acceptable average in the previous school year.
Association Involvement: Favourable consideration will be given to those applicants who have participated in Association activities within the previous twelve months.
Community Involvement: The scholarship is open to all members of the community, and favourable consideration will be given to individuals who are actively involved in volunteering activities at school or in the community.
Student Status: The student must be registered as a full-time or part-time student at an accredited post-secondary institution.
Accountability: In the event that a student has to drop out of the program in which they have been registered, it is imperative that the Association be informed. Depending on the circumstances, the student may be required to refund any or all of the money received for that academic year. Should the student not complete any one year, he/she will not be eligible for further scholarships until that year is completed at the student's expense.
