Community Service Bursary DOUBLES – A Benefit to Students & Volunteer Organizations
Financial supports will double this year for high school students who are eligible to receive the Community Service Bursary. Graduating PEI high school students who volunteer at a registered volunteer organization during grades 10 – 12 could receive between $300 to $1,500 to help pay for post-secondary education (anywhere in Canada). The program also provides students with the opportunity to develop skills, gain work experience, give back to their community, meet new people, and develop social skills. Check the details HERE.
