Bursaries & Scholarships

 

Bursaries

 

Each year two bursaries of $1000 are available.

​

Bursaries are based on the applicant's financial need. Bursaries are offered to students entering a University or equivalent institute of higher learning, such as a technical or vocational institute, involving training for which high school graduation is a prerequisite.

 

Students must attend two consecutive seminars beginning in the fall and carry a full course load (by student loan definition).

 

Bursary awards give primary consideration to the family's financial need. Although other applicants will be considered, preference is given to children and grandchildren of Veterans and ex-service personnel that served in Canadian or British Commonwealth Forces.

​

Scholarships

 

Two Scholarship awards of $1000 each are available each year.

​

Scholarships are based on academic achievement. A minimum of 75% academic standing in the final year of courses is required. Preference is given to children and grandchildren of Veterans and ex-service personal that served in Canadian or British Commonwealth Forces.

​

Applications for both are available at Pleasant Valley Secondary School.
