Rus Rice Memorial Bursary

Deadline : June 30th

Rus Rice Memorial Bursary Application Form

Early in the morning of December 24, 1990 the insurance industry lost a good friend and advocate with the sudden death of Rus Rice. Although still in his early forties and associated with the industry for just over ten years, he had already left his mark. A life to be celebrated and remembered, the insurance brokers associations of the four Atlantic Provinces hope that something of his spirit will be captured each year as the bursary named for him is presented.

The $1,000 bursary will be presented to a full time student, including freshmen, pursuing undergraduate studies at a recognized degree granting institution. The bursary will be awarded on the following basis:

• Financial
• Academic
• Other interests

An applicant must be a dependent of a broker or a staff member of a brokerage in the Atlantic Provinces, which is a member in good standing of their Provincial Association. Applications are restricted to residents of the Atlantic Provinces and must be post-marked no later than June 30.

All applications that do not meet criteria will not be accepted. Only the successful recipient will be contacted.

 

Please send your application, together with your high school and university (if applicable) transcripts to:

IBAN

380 Bedford Hwy

Halifax, NS B3M 2L4
