IGA Bursary
As in previous years, the deadline for high school students to apply for an IGA Bursary is February 28th.
The process, however, is much different than it has been in the past.
Students now have to apply for an IGA Bursary (through the IGA website) on-line, as is the case for most post-secondary applications, student loans, and the like.
We’re confident this process will prove to be more efficient for both the student and for the IGA in the long run.
The link for them to apply is as follows:
http://www.grenfellassociation.org/bursaries/bursary-guidelines/
Students need to click on “Online Bursary Application Page”, where they will have to create an account and then proceed to apply for the Bursary.
You will notice that we have also posted a tutorial to help guide them – and perhaps you - through this process just below the “Online Bursary Application Page” link, where it says “here”.
Reviewing the 6 minute video should make things a lot easier from the student’s and principal’s perspective.
Principals are still asked to provide letters of reference, but this is now all done through the on-line process.
We will no longer have the two regional offices involved in compiling and forwarding applications to be sent to the IGA, as students will henceforth apply directly to the IGA using the on-line process, prior to or on February 28th.
