About this award

You can receive up to $750 from this fund, which grants two awards annually. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you live in the Nauwigewauk–Darlings Island LSD (Local Service District) and are a learner of any age pursuing any level of post-secondary education at a public or private college or university. Apply by August 1, 2027. When you apply, ask Greater Saint John Community Foundation how and when you'll hear back — whether by email, portal, or phone. 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 resident of Darlings Island and/or Nauwigewauk. This award is open to learners of any age pursuing any level of post-secondary education at public or private colleges and universities. The fund considers your financial need, leadership skills, academic excellence, and extracurricular activities. There are two specific memorial awards available: the Grant Beyea Memorial Bursary, which values helping "the underdog," and the Joseph Thompson Memorial Bursary, which honours a dedicated educator and community leader.

Tips for applying

• Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe one specific time your involvement helped someone in Nauwigewauk or Darlings Island. Write a short paragraph about the impact you made.
• ReferencesAvoid using references who only know you casually. Instead, choose people who can speak to your leadership and character. Ask your referees to provide specific examples of your strengths.
• StrategyAvoid submitting a generic application. Instead, tailor your responses to show how your goals match the values of the Grant Beyea or Joseph Thompson memorials. Mention your ties to the local community clearly.
• RealismAvoid assuming this will cover all your tuition. Instead, treat this as a helpful supplement since the maximum amount is $750. Plan your other funding sources accordingly.
