Who can apply
Worth knowing
The school published a dated June 17, 2026 deadline for the last round and picks a new date each year, so there is no repeating date to carry and you should ask Mr. Dennis for this year's. Step one is a conversation rather than a form: you meet Mr. Dennis and Mr. Wiens first to check you are a strong candidate, then submit the letter. Expect an interview with Brian Cellars, and expect to attend the awards night in the fall, since he presents it in person.
About this scholarship
A $1,000 award for a grade 12 Chestermere High student who has shown outstanding skill in Fabrication, named for Jim Cellars, a welder his family describe as an artist, inventor and engineer who taught the trade to many. Three things gate it: all three of FAB10, FAB20 and FAB30, proof you have applied to or enrolled in a post-secondary welding program, and a 150-word letter on why you are a strong candidate and how the money advances your career. The letter has to carry your social insurance number, so write it somewhere you can keep private.
