About this award

You can receive a $1,000 bursary for your studies. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. There is one award available. This is for you if you are a recent graduate of Bellisle Regional High School who shows determination, leadership, and a zest for life through athletics, arts, and community work. You must apply by May 30, 2027. When you apply, ask Greater Saint John Community Foundation how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or a portal. A committee will choose the winner. 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 recent graduate of Bellisle Regional High School. To qualify, you need to show evidence of academic excellence, leadership skills, community involvement, and participation in extracurricular and athletic activities. You must also demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying

• Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe one specific time your leadership or effort helped someone else. Mention a project where you took charge.
• StrategyAvoid a generic application. Instead, connect your personal experiences in sports or the arts to the spirit of Rachael Duffley. Show how you embody the same energy and integrity she did.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund. Instead, remember there is only one award available for your school's graduates. Treat this as a bonus rather than your primary source of tuition.
