Quest for Excellence offers bursaries for grads

RE/MAX is committed to helping future community leaders by offering $16,000 in bursary funds through its annual Quest for Excellence Program. One recipient—in addition to his/her bursary—will receive a hot air balloon ride for two.

The Quest for Excellence Program recognizes the pursuits in leadership and community contributions of Western Canadian students. High school students graduating in 2017 from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon and Northwest Territories are encouraged to write an essay to convey the contributions they have made to enrich the lives of others and their communities through leadership, motivation, volunteering and participation in charitable events or fundraising.

“It’s truly amazing learning about our applicants for the Quest for Excellence Bursary Program each year,” said Re/MAX corporate affairs manager Marie Sheppy. “Their admirable attitudes and selfless actions allow them to impact their communities in a positive away.”

The application deadline is March 13, 2017. Award recipients will be notified in April 2017, with a formal presentation at the students’ commencement ceremonies.

“Quest for Excellence is a program we’re incredibly proud of at RE/MAX as the program celebrates the difference young people are making in their communities,” said Penticton RE/MAX Realty broker Deborah Moore. “These individuals are on the road to become future community leaders, and we’re happy to empower them on that journey.”
