SECC scholarship open to high school grads

By Abby Neufeld-Dick

LEAMINGTON — Our community is full of change makers and we have certainly seen that over the course of this past year. We constantly hear stories of individuals, families, and businesses who make a positive impact on the lives of others in and around our community.

As an agency that provides community services, SECC is working to foster that 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,” says Executive Director Carolyn Warkentin.

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

This scholarship will provide financial support through a $500 scholarship to 4 young people 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 Kingsville District High School, Leamington District Secondary School, Cardinal Carter Secondary School or UMEI Christian High School who have been accepted to begin studies at a post-secondary institution, are eligible to apply.

They must also be actively making change for the good in their school, neighbourhood, or community. Applications are due Friday, May 28 and can be found on secc.on.ca/scholarship.
