OPA Members can Promote OPAF Awards to Students
HOWYOU CAN HELP!
The Ontario Parks Association Foundation is trying to reach more students to make them aware of the funding available for their education through the Scholarships and Bursaries Program. Every year OPA members hire students who may be interested in a future career in parks or environmental services, conservation, landscaping or one of the other related private or public organizations related to our field. If you know of one or more students who you feel could use some financial assistance and would be deserving of an award you can encourage them to submit an application on line through the OPA website www.ontarioparksassociation.ca. If you feel strongly about the student(s) you are recommending you can also provide a reference letter as part of their application process.
WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR STUDENTS TO APPLY?
Students must be registered in a college or university program at the undergraduate or graduate level in a program related to our field of service as described above. A completed application form must be submitted to the Ontario Parks Association office by the last Friday in May. All of the details related to the application process are available on the OPA website/Foundation.
WHAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE?
The OPA Foundation will make available to eligible students a total of three scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each and five bursaries worth $2,000 each in 2022.
