COLLEGE/ UNVERSITY
BURSARY PROGRAM

The Belledune Port Authorities' bursary program is designed to encourage students from the counties of Gloucester and Restigouche in the province of New Brunswick to further their education at a college or university of their choice.

​

The Belledune Port Authority values the significance of certified post- secondary education and recognizes the associated costs. This bursary is designed to alleviate some of these costs and to promote certified post- secondary education in a variety of programs.

 

AMOUNT: Four (4) bursaries valued at $2,500 each, awarded to four individuals per calendar year.

​

Bursaries will be paid directly to the post-secondary institution the student is attending in September (50% of the total which equals $1,250) and January (50% of the total which equals the remaining $1,250) of each qualifying year.

​

This bursary is not renewable.

​

ELIGIBILITY: 

  • Students must be from one of the following regions: Chaleur, Restigouche, or the Acadian Peninsula. They must be attending a high school or have completed high school (or an equivalent) within the past eighteen (18) months.

  • Students must be enrolled in a full-time post-secondary program at a college or university of their choice.

  • Students must submit the attached application form (Appendix A) and a copy of the letter of acceptance from a college or university to be considered for this bursary.

  • Should there be more than four (4) eligible applicants in any given year, a draw will be held to award the four (4) bursaries.

 

DEADLINE: The application form and letter of acceptance from a college or university must be submitted to the BPA no later than June 13th to qualify for the term beginning in September of that calendar year.
