Ed Matters Scholarships

 Ed Matters Scholarships

We received an email outlining Ed Matters scholarships.  I know they are applicable to our 12s.

For the 11s and 10s I always recommend making a big list of scholarships.  Hunting for them in 10 and 11 helps you prepare for them in 12.  Also applying to everything even if you slightly don't match is good as if they don't have many applicants you might just get it.

If you are interested in any please see Mr. J for more detailed information.

Here is the information:

On behalf of Education Matters I am sending out these  CTS/Skilled Trades  related scholarship opportunities.  Included is the launch of a new award for award for students who are enrolling in post-secondary trade/vocational programs by January 2025.
