The Seaforth Parent Advisory Council is proud to be offering a $250.00 scholarship for École Seaforth Elementary School alumni.
With the spirit of citizenship at heart, the Seaforth scholarship is more community based than academic focused. While a respectable grade point average is expected, the successful candidate must be able to demonstrate how they provide leadership to younger members of the community as well as partnership with elder members in the same community. The student will demonstrate that a true leader guides those who need to know, while, at the same time, learns the value in the ability to follow and learn from others.
In a 500 word essay the eligible students must demonstrate how they have exemplified these qualities. While we encourage all to apply, we are looking for students that have gone outside of the home or classroom to make a difference in the community and make this community a better place to live.
Please include a brief letter of support for this scholarship from a teacher or a school/community official.

All applications need to be submitted by March 1st 2018.

From the Operation Med School Executive Team:
Through our federally registered non-profit organization, we host annual educational conferences across Canada led by medical experts who spark the attention of motivated, bright students who want to better understand the areas of medicine and healthcare – for more information please direct your students to our Facebook page (Operation Med School Vancouver) or visit www.operationmedschool.com
Our one-day conference will be held at the University of British Columbia, Point Grey campus, Robert H. Lee Building on February 10, 2018. This year’s conference is focused on Medical School and how to be a successful applicant. This is very useful for students considering health care as a future career option. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about Medical School from the Dean of UBC Medicine himself as well as admission and interview tips from the UBC Dean of Medical School Admissions. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to take part in hands-on workshops and case studies as well as a med student panel where they are free to ask questions.
OMS is an entirely student-run, non-profit organization, attendees are asked to pay a small fee of $30 to cover the cost of the venue and lunch. Online registration is now open but tickets are limited to 350. We will likely sell out as we have in the past three years so we encourage students to register early. We thank you for taking time to read about us and we hope you will pass this amazing learning opportunity on to your students. If you have any further questions regarding our organization or conference, please contact us at vancouver@operationmedschool.com
With sincere thanks,

PURPOSE OF SCHOLARSHIP
In tribute to Rick’s life, the Crisis Centre is offering the Rick Blight Leadership in Action Scholarship for Athletes as a means to recognize the presence of mental wellness within athletics.

The Rick Blight Scholarship seeks to recognize athletes who have demonstrated both a dedication to leadership in their sport and an ongoing investment in their personal mental wellness and/or that of their sports team or community.
ELIGIBILITY
Five scholarships valued at $1,000 will be awarded. Award recipient will be asked to attend the Crisis Centre’s Annual General Meeting in East Vancouver in May 2018 to receive their scholarship.
