2024 PSAANS Bursary Program
Guidelines
In support of on-going student learning, the Board of Directors of PSAANS passed a motion to award student bursaries in the amount of $500.00 to children of current PSAANS members. The child must be graduating from Grade 12 in 2024 and bursaries are subject to the guidelines set out herein. A child is defined as an individual that an administrator has an established duty to make provision for in a parental capacity and that is:
- under the age of 25 years old; and
- dependent on the administrator for financial support
To be eligible for a PSAANS Bursary, a graduating child of a PSAANS member must meet the following criteria:
- Application must be submitted no later than June 1, 2024.
- Applicants must be graduating from Grade 12 in 2024. In the event that a child is not a resident of Nova Scotia, completion of the local equivalent of Grade 12 will also be eligible. Proof of graduation must be submitted by October 31, 2024.
- Students who graduated in 2023 may also apply this year if they have not done so previously.
- Applicants must be enrolling in a post-secondary institution (i.e. community college, university, private college, etc.) for the 2024-2025 academic year.
- Confirmation of enrolment from the registrar of the post-secondary institution where the student is attending must be submitted to PSAANS by October 31, 2024. Proof of acceptance to a program does not meet this criterion.
- Students who graduate Grade 12 in 2024 and decide not to pursue post-secondary education during the 2024-25 academic year will have one additional year to qualify for a PSAANS Bursary.
- Each child of an administrator is only eligible to receive a PSAANS Bursary once in a lifetime. This also applies even if more than one parent is an administrator.
- The PSAANS member must be a member at the time that the child graduates from high school.
