Young people looking to make a difference in their own community are now able to apply for the new Community First Scholarship.
President of Oldies 96.7 and FREQ 90.5’s parent company, My Broadcasting Corporation, Jon Pole says the idea is to help students that want to have a positive influence in their own communities across Ontario.
Pole says the scholarship will be learning experience for both the students, but also him.
To be considered for this scholarship, a student must:
- Be a high school senior in an MBC radio station service area.
- Intend to pursue further studies in College, University or the Trades.
- Complete the personal information section below.
- Submit a 1-minute to 2-minute recording (your voice) sharing your thoughts on “What Community means to you”.
- The closing line of the recording should be “My name is (name). That’s what Community means to me”
- Audio and Application must be received by June 3rd at 7pm (est).
He says the audio portion should get the creative muscles moving.
The Scholarship will be awarded based on the content of the audio portion of the application. Messages can be recorded on a phone recorder app or as a video.
An application can be found on here.
