Opportunities New Brunswick (ONB) is currently accepting applications for the 2024 NB Proud Awards from high school graduates who will be attending post-secondary institutions within the province.
This initiative aims to assist five students, hailing from each of the province’s economic regions, by offering them $2,000 to help achieve their educational objectives.
“New Brunswick is home to world-class post-secondary institutions that offer endless opportunities and provide the skills needed to build the workforce of the future,” said Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Minister Greg Turner, who is also minister responsible for Opportunities NB in a news release.
“We are happy to once again offer the NB Proud Awards to today’s graduating class to support their post-secondary educational goals and to recognize them for demonstrating pride in New Brunswick and a passion to remain here and contribute to our growth.”
Candidates for the award are required to express their vision for their future careers and their anticipated contribution to the local economy and success in an essay of up to 500 words. They must also accompany their essay response with a photo of themselves related to their essay.
The deadline for submissions is set for May 6, 2024, at 11:59 p.m.
Those interested can find the application form and further details about the NB Proud Awards online.
