Credit union bursary is nearly a sure thing

The bursary program is intended for students between the ages of 17 and 24, who are entering or returning to full-time study

Planning to take some post-secondary education this year? Looking for an almost sure thing way to help pay for it?

For the fourth year in a row, Interior Savings is awarding up to $1 million in bursaries. That’s one thousand $1,000 bursaries in 2017!

Last year, four students from Clearwater received this bursary: Hailey Booth, Breann Fischer, Robyn Kreke and Larson Wadlegger.

So far, over $500,000 of the $1 million is still available for students to access but an important deadline is fast approaching.

According to Kathy Conway, Interior Savings’ CEO, “There’s still time for students to become an Interior Savings member to qualify for a $1,000 bursary and for all the benefits membership offers, including our top-rated service, free chequing for young adults and our easy to use mobile app.”

To be eligible for a bursary this year, students have until Feb. 1 to become an Interior Savings member.

The bursary program is intended for students between the ages of 17 and 24, who are entering or returning to full-time study towards a degree, diploma or trade certification program at a designated post-secondary institution, with classes starting between September 2017 and August 2018.

The deadline for members to submit a bursary application is May 1.

In the past three years, all those who applied and met eligibility criteria received a $1,000 bursary. That’s great news for students, and very bankable odds!
