Joan Ethier Women In Science Scholarship

Preference will be given to students at Crescent Heights High School, although, in the absence of suitable candidates, the award will be open to all students in the CBE who identify as female. Candidates must be Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents, registered in grade 12 and completing the requirements of a high school diploma that will qualify them for post‐secondary education. Applicants must show strong aptitude and interest in Science and subsequently register in a program of study leading to a degree in a Faculty of Science, Engineering or Information or Computer Systems. Applicants must demonstrate significant financial need. In addition, having held/holding a part‐time job or summer employment is highly desirable. Applicants are required to submit letters of reference, preferably from a school official such as a Science teacher. Applicants are also encouraged to submit letters of reference from employers or a community leader who can attest to their interest and aptitude in science and/or their financial need. Applicants must have demonstrated positive citizenship qualities by volunteering in the school and/or community. Selection will be based on a balance of aptitude/interest in the sciences, financial need and school/community involvement with the Award not necessarily going to the candidate with the highest marks.

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 Crescent Heights High School.
