The Women of Wellington & Saugeen Area (WOWSA) are offering an education bursary to students at both two area high schools in an effort to help develop the next generation of women in business.
Organizers say the bursary fits in with their mandate to inspire and empower women in the business community in the Wellington County and Saugeen Region by providing education and networking opportunities.
WOWSA is offering a $250 bursary at both Norwell District Secondary School and Wellington Heights Secondary School
The WOWSA organizing committee will make the selection from applications submitted by students of the two high schools and the bursary will be awarded at the commencement exercises at the schools.
The WOWSA Spirit Bursary will be awarded to female applicants attending a post-secondary institution. Applicants should also be active in their community and interested in starting their own business, possibly as a long-term goal.
An application form can be found on the Town of Minto website www.town.minto.on.ca.
Applications should be completed and forwarded by June 14, to: WOWSA, c/o Town of Minto, Attn: Mandy Jones, 5941 Highway 89, Harriston, ON, N0G 1Z0.
