David E. Mitchell Award

Open to students registered in grade 12 at Western Canada High School who are completing the requirements of a high school diploma, demonstrate financial need and are pursuing post-secondary education. Students must have exhibited leadership and/or citizenship by having contributed to the school culture, participated as a member of a club or team or excelled in off-campus volunteerism or leadership initiatives. As financial need can mean different things to different people, this award will determine the need through the submission of a statement of approximately 500 words prepared by the student that outlines the necessity of the need for economic support. Support from a teacher or school administrator will help strengthen this request. Selection will be based on volunteer activities/demonstration of leadership qualities and statement of financial need.

You can apply by creating an account in our Student Award Application Portal. Applicants should check with their guidance office for more information and are encouraged to discuss their application with the Scholarship Coordinator at their high school.
