APPLICATION NOW OPEN!

Background:

The purpose of the Andra Takacs Scholarship is to encourage students to continue with their schooling after high school, by giving them academic and

The award consists of a (one time) $250 dollar prize and post-secondary tuition assistance of $36,000 ($9,000 per year for four years), conditional upon satisfactory academic progress. The $250 prize is given to the award recipients at their Grade 8 graduation ceremony in June (subject to approval of the school principal).

Post-secondary tuition assistance is provided at the time of enrolment and will be applied directly toward tuition fees and other academic expenses.
