Scholarship Program from Servus Credit Union 

Dr. Mike's Educational Weblog | By Dr. Mike

This is an interesting program because it is not so dependent on grades (minimum of 70% GPA though), but you yourself. What is your challenge? Here are the requirements (from the website):

* Are between the ages of 17-25;
* Reside in Alberta;
* Are a member of Servus Credit Union (Not a member? Sign up for the Young & Free Chequing Account today!)
* Are attending a post-secondary institution in Alberta for the 2011/2012 school year;
* Achieved a minimum 70% grade point average in your last academic year;

Here is the press release:

$30,000 in Scholarships to be awarded to Alberta students!

Tell us how you will help yourself, your friends, your peers across the province, country or even the world, overcome one of the biggest challenges facing your generation today.

If you have a plan, we want to hear about it! Servus Credit Union is excited to announce year two of the Servus Young & Free Scholarship Program. We’ll be awarding thirty $1,000 scholarships to students who see a challenge and dare to take it on.

Create a 60-second-or-less video that showcases how you plan to make a difference in the lives of your generation by helping them overcome a common challenge. If making a video isn’t your thing, then submit a 300–500 word essay on the same topic. Applications will be accepted until noon on July 18, 2011.

Visit YoungFreeAlberta.com for full application details and rules and regulations.

The best of luck to you all!

Good learning...Good listening...

Cheers - Mike
