Rotary Clubs internationally believe in “Service Above Self;” and as such, The Rotary Club of Moose Jaw is offering Moose Jaw high school students an opportunity to apply for a scholarship to assist with post-secondary.

2017-2018 – Appliction period is over (deadline was December 15, 2017) – http://aghealth.usask.ca/scholarship/index.php

In 1995, SARM auctioned off the first copy of their history book, The Building of a Province: Commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.  This auction netted the sum of $2,600 which SARM contributed to the Centre for Agricultural Medicine. These funds initiated the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities 90th Anniversary $1,000 Student Scholarship in Agricultural Safety and Rural Health. The Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture’s Founding Chairs Program maintains the scholarship.

This $1,000 scholarship is presented each year at the SARM Annual Convention.

To be eligible for this scholarship, you must:

• Be enrolled in grade 12 for the current school year;
• Be planning on studying at a Saskatchewan post secondary school in the fall following secondary graduation.  Students can also be studying outside of Saskatchewan if the course is not offered in Saskatchewan;
• Have completed the last two years of high school in Saskatchewan;
• Have a farming background;
• Have parents or guardians who own/rent land and pay taxes to a rural municipality; and
