PSAC members (as parents of applicants or as applicants) must be in good standing as of March 31st of the current year.

The scholarships are not restricted to first-year students. No more than one scholarship will be awarded to the same family in a given year and no applicant will be awarded a scholarship more than once.

The scholarships are awarded primarily based on the merit of the 800-word essay according to the essay topic determined for the given year.

The application will be reviewed as a whole; however the PSAC Scholarship Committee will place most emphasis upon the submitted essay.
