Basin residents who have taken a hiatus of at least one year after completing high school and wish to continue their education within the region are invited to apply for Columbia Basin Trust’s College Community Service Awards. Valued at $2,000 each, the awards are based on volunteer community service rather than academic standing. The deadline to submit an application is June 17.
“These awards provide financial assistance to mature students while rewarding and encouraging volunteerism,” says Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust president and CEO. “Individual Basin residents benefit, as do Basin communities as a whole.”
Twenty-two awards are offered to Basin residents attending Selkirk College, College of the Rockies, Revelstoke Centre of the Okanagan College and Valemount Campus of the College of New Caledonia.
Applications are available at each college and online at cbt.org/ccsa. Applications must be submitted by June 17 to the applicant’s college.
For more information on the award or application process, contact Linda McInnes at lmcinnes@cbt.org or 1-800-505-8998.
