Ignite CHANGE rewards a $1,000 scholarship for students who need assistance to follow their passion in making a difference

Posted on March 16, 2021 by Devon Teeple

It is with great pleasure that we, ignite CHANGE in conjunction with The GM’s Perspective, launches a $1,000 scholarship to help students who have a passion for making a difference.

Ignite CHANGE, a non-profit community organization that focuses on sports leadership, together with The GM’s Perspective, announces the launching of its $1,000 scholarship for one deserving student who is passionate about making a difference.

“I believe a student’s personal passion and motivation is the driving force behind everything,” Teeple explained. “Our objective is to allow students to take full advantage of what’s in front of them.”

Teeple said that this annual scholarship aims to help students who have a passion for making a difference.

“If you are passionate about making a difference, we want to be able to assist you in viewing paystubs making that happen.”

Students who can apply for the scholarship must be an undergraduate from any Canadian or U.S. 4-year institution and must have a 2.75 GPA or better.

Along with their resume and a 500-word essay, applicants are also required to submit their Transcript of Records from their current or most recently attended high school, college, or university. They should email all these requirements to devon@thegmsperspective.com or dt@ignite-change.ca.

A select committee will review all completed applications, and Ignite CHANGE would announce who got the scholarship on their website.
