A scholarship for $2000 is available to students attending a post-secondary institution. The student must submit a 1000-1100 word essay on a pre-determined topic. Deadline is the end of February.

This is a “new” scholarship in that it is the first time I’ve heard about it. And it appears to be a great opportunity. The bursary offers $1500 for 115 students in Alberta. The application is simple and the award is given to those students in financial need. The deadline is March 1st.
