For many years, 3M Canada has provided scholarships and awards for college and university students across Canada. Recently, the company decided to consolidate and leverage its support by strengthening its partnership with the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE).  A national award for students is not only a welcome complement to STLHE’s award programs, but it also marks an exciting beginning for students across Canada to distinguish themselves as part of a unique learning community.

IBD is most frequently diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 30, with the typical onset being in the early 20s. A survey conducted by the CCFC found that 69 per cent of people who had IBD when they were young were delayed in completing their post-secondary education due to their disease. There is currently no known cure or cause for IBD, so young people living with the disease need strategies to achieve their best long-term health despite their diagnosis. The AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program highlights the obstacles faced by students living with IBD and supports them in rising above their personal challenges in pursuit of their dreams.

TD Scholarship for Easter Seals Youth

The purpose of the TD Scholarship for Easter Seals Youth is to assist young adults with physical disabilities in Ontario with the cost of post-secondary education or vocational training, including special needs such as attendant care, adaptive equipment, and accessible transportation.  This purpose is being achieved by establishing a scholarship fund to make $33,000 in scholarships available per year in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The fund will award scholarships at the $5,000 level, or be divided by several students with physical disabilities at a post-secondary educational facility, i.e. university or community college. Successful applicants who remain in good academic standing will be eligible to re-apply annually. The application form and all supporting documentation must be submitted by May 2, 2013.
