Scholarships
 Top 4 things you should know about our GGC scholarships:
- The National Scholarship Program is one of the ways that Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada (GGC) recognizes girl and adult Members who embody the Mission and Values of the organization. This program supports our “registered Members” who continue in Guiding, while they pursue their education / training at a recognized post-secondary institution.
- GGC scholarships are conditional on acceptance to / or continuation of a full-time program at a recognized post-secondary institution of the applicant’s choice. A scholarship will only be awarded when Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada has been notified of this acceptance.
- All applications must be completed and returned to the National Office by mail or courier only, by April 1, 2012. Members who have applied previously, but did not receive a scholarship, can re-apply.
- Members can view our 2012 Scholarship Support Guide for application instructions and tips.

I have been in Girl Guides since I was ten years old. I stayed involved as a leader when I started my undergraduate degree in Environmental Engineering. Now, I am going to be the Area Commissioner of West Coast Area, which encompasses most of the Greater Vancouver Area. Having volunteered and taken on leadership roles throughout university with Girl Guides, I greatly appreciate the recognition and financial assistance from this scholarship.

I have been a Member of Guiding since I was a Brownie, and to continue to feel support from the organization while furthering my studies as an adult is a blessing. This scholarship means I do not have to worry about my finances while I take courses this summer and it will allow me to breathe easily and focus on enjoying what I am learning in class. It also means the organization sees the potential in me for continued success by funding a portion of my education. So thank you Girl Guides of Canada for believing in me and for showing me support throughout all of the years I have been in Guiding.
