Worth knowing
Read the sports rule before you rule yourself out. Intramurals count, and so do jiu jitsu, weight lifting and figure skating. The mark rule is stricter than it looks, though, because the 65 per cent has to hold in each grade twelve subject, not on average. Applications go by email to Mr. Bates with the subject line the form specifies, and the guidance office has his address. The form requests a social insurance number. Ask the guidance office how to submit sensitive information securely.
About this scholarship
In memory of Jaydon Sommerfeld, a Chestermere High student and lacrosse and hockey player who died in a car accident in June 2015 and whose organs went to six strangers. At least four bursaries of $500 are given every year. The criteria say that this is not an academic award and the highest mark does not win it. The committee is looking for kindness, thoughtfulness, personal integrity, love of life and work ethic, the qualities Jaydon showed. The money can go to post-secondary costs or to anything else that gets you to gainful employment.
