 Scotiabank has announced the re-launch its program to award a four-year, $100,000 scholarship to York University in Toronto, Canada’s third largest university. “This scholarship is emblematic of the leadership example set by Scotiabank (Turks and Caicos) Ltd. in supporting the communities it serves,” said Claude Norfolk, senior vice president, Caribbean, International Banking, Scotiabank. “This scholarship will help to foster and develop the minds of bright, young Turks and Caicos citizens.” The scholarship is made possible through the Scotiabank Bright Future philanthropic program. Youth education is a key pillar of the program, which seeks opportunities to support children and the communities in which we live and work. The scholarship program at York University was created to impact the development of sound academic talent within the TCI. One undergraduate scholarship — renewable for three years — will be awarded with proceeds going toward academic and living expenses. As part of the scholarship, the recipient receives an International Merit Scholarship from York University for each year they receive the scholarship funding. Special consideration will be given to students who have participated in the Scotiabank-York University Emerging Global Leaders Program in the Caribbean. The York University Student Financial Services Office will manage all aspects of the scholarship, including the selection of the recipient. Applicants must demonstrate excellent academic standing as well as a proven record of community involvement through a minimum of 25 hours of volunteer experience. It is expected that the successful candidate will participate on an annual basis in the paid summer internships program at Scotiabank, and will return to the TCI and join Scotiabank as an employee for at least three years after the successful completion of four years. The application deadline is March 15 for a September 2012 entry to York University. Applicants may apply for the scholarship at http://futurestudents.yorku.ca.
