The Jason MacCullough Memorial Scholarship (Dartmouth Boys and Girls Club)

Amount: $1,000

Deadline: May 15, 2025 by 3:30 pm to Student Services

This scholarship was initiated by the Dartmouth Boys & Girls Club in Memory of Jason MacCullough, a past member of the Club who had his life tragically cut short in the summer of 1999. It is the hope that we not forget Jason, his accomplishments and his dreams in the wake of this tragedy. It is always disturbing when someone’s life is taken, but especially when they are so young and with so much POTENTIAL. We believe this scholarship will enable other youth from our community to continue to strive and reach their POTENTIAL.

CRITERIA:

• The scholarship ($1000) will be awarded to a graduating Dartmouth High student who has had some involvement with the Dartmouth Boys and Girls Club.

• The recipient must be registered in and attend a post-secondary program (university, community college, or other training program) in the academic year immediately following high school graduation.

• Candidates will be evaluated on the following (a) their involvement with the Club (b) financial need (c) academic performance.

Dartmouth NDP Community Award

Amount: $1,000

Deadline: May 30, 2025

Application details:

The Dartmouth NDP Community Service Award is all about recognizing students who give their time and energy to building stronger communities. It celebrates volunteerism – the time you've spent helping out, the length of your commitment, and the kinds of things you’ve done with and for organizations that matter to you.

It’s also about the why – what motivates you to show up, what you’ve learned through those experiences, and how that work has shaped you.

This award especially honours students who have volunteered in elections or with political campaigns at any level – municipal, provincial, or federal – as part of their commitment to civic engagement.

There are lots of awards and scholarships that recognize academic achievement, athletic excellence, or leadership in student government – and we encourage you to pursue those too, if they reflect your experience.

But this award is here to celebrate something different: your dedication to community, your passion for making a difference, and your belief in collective action.

Your application should include:

1. A 250 word letter about your volunteering experience.

2. A reference letter from a teacher, mentor, or someone you volunteer with/for, etc.

3. Your CV/resume

Apply: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WSTXJMW
