A skilled labor force serves as a fundamental pillar in the development of competitive and robust economies. It plays a pivotal role in fostering the growth and expansion of local businesses, thereby contributing to the overall success of the regional economy. In rural areas, the availability of diverse employment opportunities, particularly those offering well-compensated, highly-skilled positions, not only serves to retain existing residents, especially the youth, within our communities but also serves as a magnet for attracting new residents and investments.
The Township of Champlain will award twelve $200 Bursaries annually to deserving students residing within the township, three from each ward. These Bursaries are bestowed upon students with the best overall averages, as determined by their respective educational institutions.
To qualify, students must be enrolled in a full-time certificate or diploma program at an accredited community college, technical school, college, trade school, or university. Children of Township of Champlain employees or Council members are ineligible for consideration for this Bursary opportunity. Students cannot directly apply for the municipal Bursary; rather, Bursaries are applied for and awarded by the school. For more information, please contact the school administration.
