Our goal is to help Canadians make better financial decisions, and we believe that financial literacy is the key to this mission. Financial literacy is a lifelong commitment, and we want to encourage students to be mindful about their relationship with money early on in their lives.
For this reason, Loans Canada and KOHO are together awarding two (2) lucky students a scholarship of $750 twice a year. That is a total of CA $3,000 over the school year!
All you have to do is show us how financial literacy has made a difference in your life. Tell us how you've budgeted, saved, invested, paid down debt, applied for as many scholarships as possible, or how your side hustle has helped you bring in extra cash. We want to know how your exceptional financial management efforts have made a positive impact on your life.
We understand that qualifying for a scholarship can be challenging. That's why we're not asking for your GPA, and we're leaving this open-ended without any strict qualification rules (there is no minimum or maximum word count). We want to hear your story! We want to know what you've learned and how you intend to use your financial knowledge to build a better future for yourself.
However, we remind you that plagiarism is not allowed.
