Georgina Cares Fund Student Scholarship – 2024

Deadline is Friday May 10th, 2024

What is the scholarship?

The goal of our organization is to “help kids be kids”. We are not alone; there are hundreds of people in our community who commit their time to give back and make Georgina a better place to live. Many of them are students…ones who go above and beyond their “40 hours” to help others in our community. As these students finish their last year of school, we want to acknowledge their contribution of volunteering within the Town of Georgina. Our 2024 Student Scholarship will recognize up to three graduating high school students and reward them for helping others.

be graduating high school in June 2024
