The Calgary Kinsmen are pleased to offer local students at the post-secondary level, to apply for a Kin Canada Bursary.
Students who are, or will be, attending a recognized post-secondary institution during the 2012-2013 school year, are encouraged to apply for the $1,000 bursary. Applications must be post marked Feb. 1, 2012, and can be downloaded at www.bursary.ca.
Bursaries are awarded to students based on financial need, community and school involvement, and knowledge of Kin Canada. Successful applicants will be notified by June 2012. Kin Canada established the Kin Canada Bursaries, a program of the Hal Rogers Endowment Fund, in memory of Hal Rogers, the Association's founder. Rogers passed away in September 1994 at the age of 95. Its purpose is to promote, encourage and sponsor educational programs and activities.
Throughout his life, Hal Rogers believed in the value of education. In his own words, "providing and promoting the finest and most effective education possible for our young people" was a noble endeavor.
