Toyota Earth Day Scholarship Program
It's no secret that ecoMentors actively demonstrate their passion for the environment through the important work they accomplish. Through this dedication, they will surely emerge as tomorrow's environmental leaders and advocates.
Toyota Canada Inc. and Earth Day Canada established the Toyota Earth Day Scholarship Program to help nurture this type of environmental leadership. Earth Day Canada's national environmental scholarship encourages and rewards graduating high school students and Québec junior college students who have distinguished themselves through environmental community service, extracurricular and volunteer activities, and academic excellence - exactly the kind of qualities we find in each and every ecoMentor!
Because environmental issues are increasingly being tackled through multidisciplinary approaches, future environmental leaders will come from a broad range of academic backgrounds. The Toyota Earth Day Scholarship is offered to students entering their first year of post-secondary studies in the discipline of their choice, to prepare themselves for the career of their choice.
The Toyota Earth Day Scholarship Program grants 15 awards of $5000 each annually, to be applied directly towards tuition, books, room and board (where applicable) or other educational expenses for the first year of post-secondary full-time studies in Canada.
A national winner - selected from the 15 regional winners - will also be awarded an Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award and a Panasonic notebook computer at the National Awards Ceremony.
