The Doteasy Scholarship is our way to support passionate technology students, future entrepreneurs and aspiring graphic artists. Our goal is to empower students, lessen their financial burden during their future studies, and give them the resources to build an online presence that will move them towards their goals. We truly believe that having a website provides a major advantage for furthering your career goals.

Doteasy Scholarships are open to residents of Canada in their final year of high school and have an expressed interest in a field of study that would greatly benefit from owning a website (eg. Computer Science, IT, IAT, Graphic Design, Business, or Other).

Three scholarships will be awarded to students in their final year of high school. Scholarship prizes are as follows:

FIRST PLACE: $1000 FOR TUITION & 1 year domain name and hosting services for your own website

RUNNER UP: $750 FOR TUITION & 1 year domain name and hosting services for your own website
