About this award

You can receive $2,700, and this amount is renewable. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a graduate of Tantramar High School who is pursuing a creative or liberal arts degree. You must submit your application for admission and scholarships by March 1. No specific notification date is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Mount Allison University's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Mount Allison University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. There are 2 of these awards available. Ask Mount Allison University during your application 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. To keep this award, you must maintain a 3.0 sessional GPA (your grade point average for the session) with a course load of 30 course credits between the fall and winter terms. You can combine this with other Mount Allison scholarships and bursaries, but you cannot use it if you receive the Leta G. Hill or Marjorie Young Bell Scholarships.
