The annual scholarship program, started in 1996, was developed to recognize students of the community who have demonstrated a high level of either academic or athletic proficiency combined with an ongoing commitment to volunteering in our community.

Two scholarships valued at $1000 each are awarded to area high school students entering college or university in the fall. While students can apply for either an academic or athletic scholarship, the two scholarship streams are rated together with the best two applicants each being awarded a scholarship. Demonstrated community volunteering remains a key component for both scholarships.

In addition to the academic/athletic scholarships referenced above, we offer a third scholarship in the amount of $1,000. The Mark and Shanti Inman Community Service Scholarship is awarded in recognition of Mark and Shanti's long and tireless service to the community and to the Community Association. Through their hard work and dedicated commitment, they have enhanced our lives in the community and have made the Association what it is today. The primary focus for this scholarship award is on community volunteering, with the secondary focus being on scholastic and athletic achievements.

The Scholarship Application Forms for the 2009-2010 scholarships are now available in English and French at the Association's office in the Canterbury Community Centre, in the student services offices at area high schools, and on-line by clicking on the appropriate link below. Completed applications must be postmarked no later than Thursday, May 20, 2010.
