This scholarship was established to encourage and inspire young women from Annapolis Royal to be the first in their family to step into the challenge and opportunity of post-secondary education. Scholarships will be awarded to female graduates attending Annapolis West Education Centre who will be first-generation post-secondary education students.

Parents, siblings, adult friends of the student, guardians, school principals, scholarship or other nomination/review committees may nominate a student but input from the student will be required. When nominating a student please ensure they meet the following criteria:
A student who meets eligibility and selection criteria may self-nominate.
A minimum of $5,000 will be awarded annually. The award may increase to $10,000 in any year depending on the quality and number of applicants.
The recipient of the award in June of any year has until September three years following to begin university studies (e.g., a student awarded the scholarship in June 2026 has until September 2029 to begin university). This provides time for increased maturity and careful selection of program of study.
The number of scholarships and the amount of each scholarship will depend on the number of nominations received and the funding requested by nominees.
Scholarship payments will be made directly to the student’s account at the university and not to individuals.
