The Promise of the Future Begins with the Youth of Today
This is the philosophy behind the Manitoba Blue Cross Scholarship/Bursary Program. The challenge of rapidly changing technologies and economics have made many students realize the necessity of a higher education, yet one of the biggest problems facing students today is the cost of furthering their education. Manitoba Blue Cross offers scholarships and bursaries to students who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to pursue post secondary education within Manitoba.
Manitoba's future depends on the skills and knowledge of our youth. They are the leaders of tomorrow and we feel it is important that their contributions are supported.
Manitoba Blue Cross introduced this program in 1983 and awards 26 students a Manitoba Blue Cross Scholarship or Bursary each year.
To Apply
Eligible students must apply directly to to one of the participating facilities to be considered for a Manitoba Blue Cross Scholarship or Bursary.
