Knick Knack Nook Bursary for Environmental Sustainability

The purpose of Knick Knack Nook is to foster environmental responsibility through both action and education. To that end, a $1,000 Bursary will be awarded in 2011 to a student with ties to Bowen and who is pursuing a career in support of environmental sustainability through studies at the undergraduate or graduate level (or equivalent).

An applicant must provide the following information, by September 30, 2011:

1. Her/his full name, address, telephone number and email address.
2. A letter outlining:
• The course of studies being pursued;
• how the applicant's course of studies will help her/him foster environmental sustainability;
• the applicant's connection to Bowen and the Bowen community;
• volunteer or other work that relates to community life and environmental sustainability;
• financial need and the assistance the $1,000 Award would provide;
• proof of acceptance at a recognized Canadian post-secondary institution, including the applicant's student number and the address of the institution.
3. A letter of reference from someone other than a relative.
4. A copy of the applicant's official transcript of scholastic standing from the most recent year of attendance at a recognized educational institution (either secondary or post-secondary).

Please submit the full application electronically, to:
Bowen Island Community Foundation
info@bowenfoundation.com

Please note that preference will be given to applicants demonstrating strong ties to Bowen and those who have already shown a commitment to environmental sustainability. Though not the primary determining factor, financial need will be a consideration and should there be several candidates who appear equally deserving, the selection committee may ask for further, standard financial documentation to assist in its decision making.
