Due to the pandemic and its effects on our lives in 2020, Caisse Alliance is adapting the type of bursaries awarded and the eligibility requirements of its program. Two bursaries will be awarded to students who have distinguished themselves by participating in or initiating a project to help people in their community get through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thus, Caisse Alliance will award two $5,000 bursaries; one to a secondary school student who is planning to enroll in a postsecondary program, and one to a student who is already enrolled in a college or university undergraduate program.

What are the eligibility requirements?

• Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident;
• Have an overall average of at least 80% in your last year of study;
• Be enrolled in a postsecondary program;
• Be a member of Caisse Alliance;
• Be involved in your community (cooperative, community, cultural, student or business activities, etc.);
• Submit two 250-word texts explaining your involvement and participation in the project, to be evaluated (Section 5).
