Applications are no longer being accepted, thank you so much to everyone that applied.
Please stay tuned for the announcement of who will be awarded the scholarships.
The Stigma-Free Society is extremely proud to announce that we are once again partnering with Otsuka-Lundbeck Alliance to offer scholarships to TWO deserving post-secondary students.
Two $2000 scholarships will be allocated toward their educational pursuits!
This is the sixth year that the Society has been able to provide these amazing scholarships and it is because of our valuable relationship with Otsuka-Lundbeck Alliance. We are proud of the work each recipient has completed over the past few years in the area of educating themselves on how to help eradicate stigma through awareness and education.
Scholarships will be awarded to two students, who have experienced or are currently experiencing the effects of stigma because of mental illness, LGBTQ2+, homelessness, race or addictions issues. Additional related experiences will also be considered.
Criteria to apply:
- Be a current Resident of British Columbia, Canada
- Must have dealt with, or are currently dealing with the effects of stigma in their life
- Complete an application form with essay for Society’s reviewing, including a reflective paragraph of what supports you wished you had in secondary school, but did not receive.
- The Society hopes to feature each awarded student’s story on their website and anonymity is also permitted if preferred
- Must be accepted and registered at an accredited educational institution for the Jan. 2024 – Spring 2024 Semester
- Deadline to Apply is November 30, 2023
