The Royal Canadian Legion's Port Coquitlam branch is making eight bursaries available to Tri-City high school students.
Four bursaries of $2,000 each will be awarded to qualified applicants through the Legion Poppy Fund and are available to the children or grandchildren of ex-service personnel. Financial need will also be considered.
Students without a Legion or military affiliation are eligible to apply for four other $2,000 bursaries that are made available through the organization's education fund.
Awards are based on financial need and good grades; an applicant's total family income cannot exceed $60,000 annually.
Applications are available through high school counsellors or from the Legion office at 604-942-8911.
