General Description
Each year, over $20 000 is distributed to students through the HHSS Bursary Program. The purpose of the Bursary Program is to provide financial assistance for graduates as they pursue their interests beyond high school. A bursary is a monetary grant presented to a deserving graduate. Funds have been made available through donations from a number of generous community members and organizations. Any student graduating from Haliburton Highlands Secondary School may receive funds through the Bursary Program. All graduates are encouraged to apply for bursaries. A selection committee will review all applications and make appropriate selections based on a number of criteria including financial need, contributions to the school and community, outstanding character, and future area of study. Other specific (appointed) bursaries are also available.
