  3. Write (in own words) and submit an application by no later than 2 weeks before the course starts - explaining why he/she should be awarded this scholarship.

NOTE:

  1. The applicant will be notified before the course starts whether or not the application was approved.
  2. The course fees will be refunded over a period of 2 years: 60% in first year and 40% in second year - provided the applicant contributes to CANSI Ontario (such as by helping with communication and/or with running courses in Ontario).
  3. The funds will be sent towards the end of CANSI Ontario's fiscal year-end (April 30) to the address specified in the application letter.
  4. If CANSI Ontario has to cancel the approved course (e.g. due to lack of participants or poor weather) the young applicant's approved scholarship will be valid for other similar course offered during the same or following winter.
