Transcona Collegiate Scholarships
Our school is extremely fortunate to have a very large scholarship fund mainly due to our supportive community. One family in particular (The Shandruks) have created a very large trust fund which supports many of our larger awards. The total value of scholarships that were given out last year was over $96,000.!
During the week of March 5th – 9th, 2018 we will have a scholarship meeting with all students interested in applying for school based scholarships. The application booklet will be provided, either in hard copy or electronically and a deadline of April 19th will be clearly stated. The application involves an academic resume, description of extra-curricular type activities, community related activities as well as an essay or essays specific to certain scholarships. It is very important that students meet the deadline.
School scholarships will be determined based on academic average and specific award criteria. Academic average will be calculated based on all courses that a student takes in their grade 12 year, more specifically first semester final marks and second semester interim grades. This includes special language exams at the 40 level, if taken in their grade 12 year. Students having incomplete or marks less than 50% will be disqualified.
