Every year the Merit Bursary awards over 300 grade 11 and 12 students in the Greater Toronto Area with up to $5,000 in recognition of their commitment to both their academics and their community.

From the Merit Award Bursary:

What some might call “extenuating circumstances”, we call your life story. It’s unique to you and that’s exactly what we’re looking for.

The Merit Award doesn’t have grade cut-offs or firm definitions on things like “extra-curricular”. We’re looking to understand who you are, what you’ve overcome to pursue your education and how you’ve been a positive force for others on the way.

Receiving a Merit Award isn’t just a bursary. It’s a badge of recognition as well as lifelong access to our Alumni resources from mentorship programs to leadership opportunities and more. 

You’ve already done the work, it’s time to be recognized!

Applications open Dec. 1. For more information or to apply, visit the Merit Bursary Awards website.

Students learned how to assess emergency scenes, administer CPR and defibrillators, stop someone from choking, and much more! At the end, they were certified in First Aid and CPR and equipped with lifesaving skills. Thanks so much to Debra from SAJE Vital Signs for an exciting and valuable workshop!
