Who can apply

A Foothills Composite grade 12 student contributing to the school paper

Worth knowing

English 30-2 counts here as well as 30-1, which is unusual and means the academic stream is not a barrier. Actually writing for the school paper is what separates applicants.

About this scholarship

The Western Wheel, Okotoks' local paper, pays $250 to a grade 12 student in English 30-1 or 30-2 who is interested in journalism, has shown growth and initiative in it, and has contributed to the school newspaper or newsletter.

How to apply

1 Ask your guidance counsellor how your school handles this award.
2 Ask for the school deadline too. It is often earlier than the one listed here.
