We are excited about the new changes to the Access Communications Scholarship!

We feel strongly about giving back to local youth who volunteer their time in order to improve their communities.  As a 100% Saskatchewan-owned, non-profit co-operative, social responsibility is at the forefront of everything we do.

Since 2005, Access Communications has put more than $275,000 into the hands of high school graduates across our province. We are so proud that our support and involvement has helped these students pursue their dreams.

We are happy to announce that our Scholarship Program has been refreshed. Access Communications will be accepting the applications, reviewing and choosing the top applicants throughout the province.

The Access Communications Scholarship will be awarding $1,000 to 20 graduating students who demonstrate exemplary community involvement.

Full details and application forms can be found at www.MyAccess.ca/InTheCommunity. Submission deadline is April 20, 2017.

We have some very exciting news at Campion College that needs to be shared with you and your students. Our Wolfe Family General Achievement Entrance Scholarship is accepting applications this year.

If you are unfamiliar with the award, it is geared towards students who are excelling academically, athletically, and within their community. The scholarship is $6500 per year, and is renewable for an additional 2 years. This means it is potentially worth $19,500.

This award is specifically for a student registered through Campion College.

Conexus will be offering 30 – $500 Community Youth Leadership Awards across the province.  The award is presented to a graduating high school student who demonstrates co-operative spirit, community involvement, and leadership. Our goal is to promote the benefits of being a Conexus Credit Union member and to recognize the contributions made to their school and community.

The intent of the award is to recognize an individual at the time of graduation from high school for their contributions made to school life and community and to reward youth who exhibit leadership skills.

Interested applicants can go to our website at www.conexus.ca/aboutconexus/ourcommunity/leadershipaward to review the eligibility guidelines and download the application.  A Q&A document is also available.
