Karen Furstrand Scholarship

 

• The Karen Furstrand Scholarship is awarded annually to a deserving Lower Mainland Sea Cadet who is applying for or is already attending post-secondary education. 
• The Scholarship amount is $1000, which will be paid directly to the Cadet’s chosen post-secondary institution.  
• The scholarship is only open to Sea Cadets who currently attend one of the Lower Mainland Sea Cadet units, or to someone who has aged out from one of the Lower Mainland Sea Cadet units within this training year. 
• Previous scholarship applicants may re-apply if they were not successful on their previous application and still meet eligibility requirements.
• Note that of the two reference letters requested, it is requested that one letter be from the CO or XO of your Cadet Corps.
• Please encourage your Cadets to follow all instructions carefully and supply all information requested.  We have seen very good applicants have to be discarded or lose points because they did not supply all requested information.
• The criteria are not simply based on Cadet experiences, there is a lot of consideration is given to other criteria such as extra-circular activities, community volunteering, educational and career goals, etc., so any Cadet heading to or already in their first year of post-secondary education is encouraged to apply! 
• The scholarship is a memorial to Karen Furstrand, a former Sea Cadet of 195 RCSCC BICKNELL, who was killed in a car accident in May 2005.  The scholarship was set up later that year, and has provided a bursary each year to an outstanding Lower Mainland Sea Cadet.
