The Western Inspirational Bursary Award is for a graduating high school student served by a Western Financial Group or its affiliates location.

It is a character award that aims to recognize the students in our communities who have overcome various adversities, including mental health, physical disability, discrimination, financial hardship, or family issues. Despite these challenges, these students have demonstrated kindness, determination, and courage to graduate high school and continue their education through post-secondary institutions, trade schools, online courses, or the military. The successful applicant from École St. Mary High School will have their name submitted to the Western Financial Group, who will then review all applicants and select a winner within Prince Albert. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, March 6, 2024. Please see Ms. McLeod if you have any questions.
