The Municipality of Clarington has announced a new Diversity Leadership Bursary to help support the educational and career aspirations of youth who champion diversity and inclusion in the community.
The bursary provides $1,500 to an eligible graduating high-school student involved in activities and initiatives that create positive change related to diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and accessibility in Clarington, said the announcement.
Applications opened on May 1 and will close on June 7. The bursary is made available on behalf of Clarington’s Diversity Advisory Committee,
“In Clarington, our growing diversity is a source of strength for our community. We are fortunate to have many young leaders contributing to positive change in Clarington. I am proud to see the launch of the Diversity Leadership Bursary. This will support local students in advancing their education while helping to shape a more welcoming and inclusive community for us all in the future,” said Mayor Adrian Foster.
“The Diversity Advisory Committee is thrilled to launch the Diversity Leadership Bursary for local Clarington high school students. The goal of the bursary is to encourage and celebrate young community leaders by alleviating some of the financial barriers associated with post-secondary education. We look forward to reviewing the applications and selecting a recipient after applications close on June 7,” said Tenzin Shomar, Chair of Clarington’s Diversity Advisory Committee.
