Affinity Credit Union Graduate Scholarships!

The Affinity Credit Union sponsors two scholarships for our two schools. KCI/Keesekoose First Nations/Cote First Nations schools grads are eligible for a $500.00 based on academics/extra-curricular involvement/and community involvement. Recipients must be attending post-secondary education in the fall.

Pelly grads are eligible for a $250.00 scholarship - following the same criteria.

Students have been given the application forms - extra-copies are available in the Guidance Office.

Deadline for submission to Mrs. Tulloch is Wednesday, June 3rd at 3:30. I will attach the transcript information and deliver the forms on Thursday.

Make sure to ask for reference letters in a timely matter so that your referee has time to write a good letter that best represents you! Nothing is worse than having a student ask for a reference letter the day of the deadline, folks!
