Re/Max of Western Canada is now offering $16,000 in bursary monies in its annual Quest for Excellence Program, offered to Western Canadian Grade 12 students. The program, now in its 10th year, was established to recognize ongoing pursuits of Western Canadian students. The program has been revised to a single category to recognize students’ leadership and community contribution achievements.

“We are encouraging students to communicate what they have done specifically in their local communities to make a difference in the lives of others, whether it be by fundraising for a cause, volunteering their time or participating in any other local initiatives,”  says Marie Sheppy, senior co-ordinator, corporate affairs, Re/Max of Western Canada.

Sixteen entries will be selected from entries received online at www.remax-western.ca in Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Yukon. Each winner will receive a Re/Max Quest for Excellence bursary, each valued at $1,000. The application deadline is March 4.
