The Township of Tiny Education Bursary program assists students who are entering their post-secondary education, including courses and training programs of a technical and vocational nature. Applications for the bursary are anonymously vetted by a selection committee and scored based on set criteria consisting of volunteer experience, essay response, post-secondary education length, and completeness/comprehension.

“We’re thrilled to be able to offer this bursary program to the youth in our community,” said Mayor David Evans. “On behalf of Tiny, we’re excited to award these five deserving individuals and help support them as they pursue their post-secondary education”.
