The Canadian Picture Pioneers
Trust Fund has been assisting those in need of help for over 60 years.
In 2003 the Trustees approved awarding scholarships to students in need of
financial assistance who are enrolled in full time studies. Each
year the Trustees receive hundreds of applications from students requesting
support for their studies. Students are asked to write a short essay
telling the judging Trustees about themselves and explain how the scholarship
money would benefit them, and how their life and education will benefit society.
Applications are accepted in the fall of each year from eligible students who are legal residents of Canada, including residents of Quebec, who are 27 years of age and under, currently enrolled in full time studies at a post-secondary institution and who currently work or have worked in the film industry within the past 6 months, or are a child/grandchild of an individual who currently works or who has worked in the film industry in the past 6 months.
Contact the Canadian Picture Pioneer office for additional information regarding the Picture Pioneers Trust Fund Scholarship Program.
