Post-Secondary Bursary  

 

             Details

Number and value of bursaries awarded will depend upon funds available. Recipients will be selected at random from among applicants.  Only one bursary will be awarded to an individual.

 

             Completed applications must be received by August 13, including arrangements to have copies of post-secondary transcripts sent to the

 

               Secretary 

               Rotary Club of Parry Sound  

               Box 244 

               Parry Sound, ON   P2A 2X4 

 

              Successful applicants MUST attend a personal interview with the Rotary Bursary Committee before the end of August in Parry Sound.

 

              Bursaries will be paid directly to post-secondary institutions in September, once proof of registration in applicable year’s program is received.  A bursary is in effect a gift – not a loan – and in this case, the bursary is awarded independently of other awards, scholarships, or loan.
