About this award

You can receive a $1,000 bursary for your studies. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. There is 1 award available. This is for you if you are a Harbour View High School graduate from the Crescent Valley/Anglin Drive neighbourhoods in Saint John, New Brunswick, who is pursuing post-secondary education. You must apply by May 30, 2027. When you apply, ask your guidance counsellor how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or a student portal. Harbour View High School will make the selection. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Greater Saint John Community Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Greater Saint John Community Foundation 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. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Greater Saint John Community Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a graduate of Harbour View High School and a resident of the Crescent Valley/Anglin Drive area in Saint John, NB. You must also show proof of financial need and provide confirmation that you are enrolled at a post-secondary institution.

Tips for applying

• SupportAvoid asking for a generic character reference. Instead, ask your guidance counsellor for a letter that speaks specifically to your ties to the Crescent Valley/Anglin Drive community. Schedule a meeting with your counsellor early to discuss your application.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the May 30 deadline to start. Instead, treat your guidance counsellor as your primary resource since they handle the application process. Visit your counsellor's office this week to confirm the exact steps needed to apply.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund. Instead, remember that only 1 award is given, making it very selective. Focus on highlighting your connection to the local neighbourhood to stand out.
