The C3 Host Student Scholarship is designed to help a student pursue studies at a Canadian College in science, and to raise the profile of College Chemistry Canada. To reflect the diversity of programs and objectives of colleges in Canada, the criteria for awarding this will be left to the college which hosts the annual C3 conference (when the conference is located in Canada). For example, the scholarship could be awarded to a high school student entering a college, or to a first year student going into second year. It could be given for the most creative entry in a science fair, or to the student showing the most improvement during first year. It is hoped that the awarding of the scholarship will be publicized.
The selection of candidates will be based on the following criteria:
The selection of the recipient of the scholarship will be made by the college which is hosting the annual C3 conference in those years when conference is held in Canada.
The host college will set the criteria for deciding a winner. The winner should, however, be (i) a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and (ii) intending to pursue science studies (including chemistry) at the host college in the year following the presentation of the award.
The scholarship will be presented to the winner during the annual conference. The host college will inform the secretary of C3 of the name of the successful candidate by May 10.
The winner of the scholarship will be given $1000 and a certificate.
