Each year, EQUS invites students from our membership to apply for a chance to receive one of four, $1,500 scholarships. These awards are granted based on a combination of academic achievement, personal endeavors, and community and volunteer activities.

We had many strong applicants this year with a wide variety of post-secondary ambitions, enrolled in schools all across Canada and the United States! Each applicant submitted a personal essay as well as two letters of reference to demonstrate their accomplishments, goals, values, and community contributions. Thank you to the dedicated educators on our Scholarship Review Committee who took the time to carefully review each and every application and chose our four recipients from the many deserving applicants. Thank you to all who applied.

Congratulations to our 2024 scholarship recipients, Justine Lai, Navada Jeffries, Payton Van Driesten, and Thomas Paulsen, and best wishes for success to all of the EQUS students beginning a new year of learning and embarking on new careers!
