Benefits of Program Participation

Bright Futures Program requirements are very similar to those of a part time job. Since being a student is recognized as being like having a job it seems reasonable to offer all Bright Futures Students rewards similar to what a person might experience with a part-time job:

Long term incentive is a scholarship fund of $1000/year held in trust to be used for post secondary (maximum = $4000 upon high school graduation).

Short term incentives may include transit tickets, gym membership, and talent development lessons, such as guitar, art or dance lessons.

Student Parent Support Workers providing support and resources for student success in school throughout the year.

Volunteers who will be at all tutoring sessions to assist your child with any homework challenge.
