Rotary Club of Truro Bursaries

The Rotary Club of Truro offers Post-secondary Entrance Educational Bursaries for students who wish to pursue post-secondary studies at a college or university. There are three bursaries valued at $1,500 each for students from CEC, South Colchester Academe and North Colchester High School and two $500 Bursaries for students from École Acadienne and Colchester Christian Academy. The bursaries are tenable only at recognized post-secondary institutions, and are awarded to students who reside in the geographic area served by the Rotary Club of Truro.

This Bursary is made possible through the generosity of families, through funds provided by the Rotary Club of Truro, and through other special donations and bequests.

Bursaries are awarded each year, depending on the availability of funds, and each one is non-renewable.

The Bursary Selection Committee must receive applications no later than May 1^st.
