CBC Diversity Scholarship Manitoba

CBC has created this scholarship to support and encourage those high school students who've already made the decision to pursue a career in journalism or broadcasting.

Four $500 awards will be presented to applicants who are in their final year of high school, present a minimum average of 70%, live in Manitoba at time of application and hold Canadian citizenship or residency. All applicants must come from an ethnic or ancestral background that is a visible minority or Aboriginal.

Applicants are required to complete an essay addressing the question, What is the role of the CBC in our community?, and to provide recent high school transcripts. The application deadline is May 30, 2008.

Application forms can be picked up at CBC: 541 Portages Avenue, or downloaded from the above link.
