Eligibility requirements

To be considered eligible, you must meet all of these requirements:

You should be enrolled in college or university in Canada full time
You should be a Canadian Citizen, or a Permanent Resident, or have a Study Permit, or otherwise have a status that makes you eligible to study in Canada
You should be in good academic standing with your college or university (not on academic probation)

How to apply

Instead of having you write a long essay, we wanted to try something different. Think about the impact you plan to have on the world, or the problem that you think you’d be willing to devote your life/ work to solving. (Remember, this is what is true for you. Problems don’t have to be super high profile or well known for them to be meaningful or in need of a solution. It’s just whatever you are willing to work to help bring about in the world). Then, write no more than two paragraphs (4 to 6 sentences each), describing in a simple, clear way:

What problem you want to solve in the world through your life and work?
Why is this problem important to be solved?
What specific role do you see yourself contributing to in order to solve this problem?

We will select a scholarship winner based on the 2 – 3 paragraph answer. Give it some thought, and transparently share about the legacy you think you might leave. We’ll seriously consider every single submission.
