SECC Community Change Maker Scholarship applications open

The community is full of change makers, and we all see their impact day after day. We hear stories of individuals, families and businesses who make a positive impact on the lives of others in and around the community.

As an agency that provides community services, South Essex Community Council (SECC) is working to foster and support the next generation of community change makers.

“We want to encourage youth who are service-oriented, willing to collaborate, and who are driven to make meaningful change for a purpose,” said Carolyn Warkentin, Executive Director, SECC. “One of the ways we are able to do this is by offering these scholarships.”

To ensure our communities are vibrant, strong and thriving for generations to come, SECC has once again opened applications for the SECC Community Change Maker Scholarship.

This scholarship will provide financial support through a $500 scholarship to four 2022 high school graduates who are planning to use their post-secondary education to make societal change in the wider community, in the province or around the world.

Students currently enrolled as a Grade 12 student at Leamington District Secondary School, Cardinal Carter Secondary School, UMEI Christian High School or Kingsville District High School, who have been accepted to begin studies at a post-secondary institution, are eligible to apply. They must be actively making change for the good in their school, neighbourhood, or community.

Applications are due Tuesday, May 31 and can be found on secc.on.ca/scholarship.
