About this award

You can receive $1,000 from this scholarship. As a grant, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a high school student living in Newfoundland and Labrador. No application form or deadline is listed on the official page. You can email karenpearcey@gov.nl.ca to ask about the Scholarship Acceptance Process. Seventy-nine of these scholarships are awarded each year, based on the Department of Education (the provincial body that manages K-12 schooling) scholarship score. Ask Government of Newfoundland and Labrador how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Government of Newfoundland and Labrador whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies
