✨ Smillie Family Education Award

Three awards of about $2,000 each for a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who has lived in a rural Canadian community and is entering first or second year of a full-time undergraduate degree or diploma leading to a career in agriculture, education or health care.

It asks for a GPA of at least 2.7 or 70% together with financial need, and for leadership and volunteering in both school and community. The rural residency is the real filter here rather than any particular province. The provider had not posted a date for the new cycle when this was checked in August 2026, so this is last cycle's deadline rolled forward. Confirm before you plan around it.
