Ontario Students Awarded $75,000 in CU Succeed Youth Bursaries

Bursary recipients are selected based on two main criteria, financial need and how they give back to their communities. Awards are available to any post-secondary Ontario student 25 or under as of the application close date who are pursing a post-secondary academic, vocational, or technical program. 

Students were assessed by a review panel across four categories; community involvement, personal circumstances, letters of reference, and quality of their compelling essay or video submission. They were ranked numerically with top of the list individuals receiving bursaries of $3,000, the other candidates received amounts of $2,000, $1,500 or $1,000 totaling $75,000.
