Community Service Bursary Program
...an opportunity for students to earn a bursary for volunteering 



The program is designed to:

• offer Island students in Grades 11 and 12, who plan to attend any post-secondary institution, a bursary in recognition of volunteer work performed in their communities;
• encourage volunteerism, support volunteer organizations and assist young people in achieving their educational goals;
• improve access for youth to attend post-secondary education by offering financial assistance;
• increase and encourage attendance at post-secondary institutions;
• provide youth with new experiences in their communities;
• develop a sense of community responsibility in youth;
• develop career and leadership skills; and
• provide meaningful services in Island communities.

Eligibility:

Prince Edward Island students in grades 11 and 12, who plan to attend a post-secondary institution, are eligible for a Community Service Bursary. Students may register to volunteer as soon as they are promoted to grade 11. The bursary is calculated at a rate of $5 per hour. Students are required to volunteer a minimum of 30 hours or up to a maximum of 100 hours. (30 hrs = $150 and 100 hrs = $500).
A community service bursary is valid for up to one year following graduation from high school. Bursaries will be issued to the post-secondary institution in late November and will be applied to the student’s account.
Participating organizations must be non-profit and non-political. Fund-raising activities do not qualify as volunteer work and the students must not displace paid employees. Volunteer work cannot form part of students' academic studies, be related to extra-curricular school activities, school sporting events, and no volunteer hours can be accumulated during school hours.
