Youth Bursary Program

The Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands would like to recognize youth for their successes and to support them in achieving their future goals.

The Youth Bursary Program is meant to give recognition to youth for their academics, volunteerism, leadership, and extra-curriculars while giving them a modest bursary to go towards their post-secondary endeavours.

Please review the Youth Bursary Policy and when you are ready, head over to our Youth Bursary Program Application form to make your submission.

The application deadline is 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31, 2020.
