Review and Selection Process

Submissions will be reviewed by Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation’s volunteer selection committee. Special consideration will be given to students who demonstrate leadership through volunteer and extracurricular activities.

While academic excellence is important, scholarships will not necessarily be awarded to students with the highest marks. Scholarship winners  will be well-rounded leaders who are active in their communities and epitomize the ideals of conservation.

The committee’s award decisions will be final.

Scholarship winners will be invited to submit a photo and impact statement for distribution on TRCF’s social media channels.

Condition of Award

At the time of award, Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation will require verification of enrollment and permanent residency. Finalists’ references will be checked.
