We are thrilled to announce that theROC Youth Services has partnered with The County Foundation to offer ‘theROC Grade 10 Bright Future Award’ bursary.
Starting this year, a bursary of $1,000 will be awarded annually to a Grade 10 student living in Prince Edward County who has demonstrated growth and progress toward personal success through overcoming barriers. Applications can be self-applied or by nomination.
theROC has created this new bursary to support high school students, with the aim of increasing the chances of PEC youth graduating from high school and enrolling in trades programs, apprenticeships, or post-secondary school. In contrast to many post-secondary bursaries and scholarships, the 'Bright Future Award’ will be awarded to Grade 10 students and held for up to 3 years following their graduation from secondary school.
- $1,000 for tuition that will be held up to 3 years following graduation from secondary school until they enroll in a trades program, apprenticeship, or post-secondary school.
- A personal laptop gifted by CGI, a Canadian company that provides global IT and business consulting services.
The County Foundation is honoured to be working in partnership with theROC towards their commitment to uplifting and empowering PEC youth.
The full details of the bursary, including its eligibility requirements and application process, will be available in the coming weeks, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates.
This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to share more soon!
