Hi Bears,

Here is a Bursary related to the natural environment.  Read on for details!

The Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary is offered annually to assist students who will pursue post-secondary studies in a field related to the natural environment.

One or more bursaries of $1000 will be awarded each year to students from our area.

The application deadline is May 1.

The Bursary is named for Cliff Bennett, a founding member of the MVFN. It was established in 2007 by Cliff’s many friends on his 75th birthday, to honour, with a legacy, his lifelong contribution to nature education. To date over $25,000 has been awarded to 32 students in our area who have gone on to studies at colleges and universities across the country.

To be eligible, a student must

  • Enter a program related to the natural environment at a Canadian post-secondary institution (college, university, or technical institute) in the next academic year.
  • Currently live in Lanark County or West Carleton Ward or attend a school located in these regions or confirm MVFN membership.
  • Submit a complete Bursary application package by May 1, 2025.

The Committee will consider an applicant’s appreciation and experience in issues related to the natural environment. Previous recipients have demonstrated and actively promoted environmental awareness through school projects and volunteering in their communities. Complete selection criteria are provided on the application.

Past winners of the Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary Award have pursued post-secondary studies in ecosystem and resource management, environmental sciences and engineering, marine biology, and zoology. Others have followed their passion in environmental stewardship by studying fish and wildlife management or biotechnology.

Application forms are available at mvfn.ca  https://mvfn.ca/cliff-bennett-nature-bursary/

Take care,

Mrs. Anderson, Mme. Day, and Ms. Shaw

Hello Graduating Bears,

I hope you are doing well and working hard at your classes.  I know I have been sending out a lot of Scholarship opportunities;  please don’t get overwhelmed and take it one at a time.  Sometimes, you can reuse pieces of written answers from one application to another to make it more manageable and not every scholarship will be a good fit for you, so don’t feel that you need to apply all of them (or any at all).  The majority of scholarship applications for students who will be attending post-secondary school next year close in the next two months.

Here are some unique scholarships that are currently available and don't have very many completed applications.

Here are a few resources if you are applying for scholarships:

Have a great day,

Mrs. Anderson, Mme. Day and Ms. Shaw

RE: Major Entrance Scholarships

Hello, Graduating Bears of 2025 and Parents/Guardians,

There are several prestigious awards coming up, some in the very near future and some a little ways off.  We encourage all of you to be investigating scholarship opportunities on your own so that you don’t miss out on the application deadlines.  I’ve taken this opportunity to highlight a few of the highly competitive scholarships below for university-bound students (some may require a nomination from the school, so read carefully).

Loran Scholar – due Tuesday October 15th, 2024, 8pm
