Each year, SolveYourDebts.com offers several $1,000 scholarships to post-secondary students across Atlantic Canada. Since 2004, they have awarded more than $200,000 to deserving students. John Eisner was President & CEO of SolveYourDebts.com (formerly Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada) for nearly 30 years. He believed strong financial literacy is the cornerstone of future financial freedom and was committed to fostering financial literacy in young people.
As a non-profit organization, their mission is to support, educate and empower individuals in managing their personal finances. Through their scholarship program, their primary goal is to improve financial literacy among youth in Atlantic Canada and to help reduce the burden of student debt. Students must prepare a short video as per application instructions, adhering to the criteria, rules and regulations. The deadline for this year’s application submissions is May 3rd, 2024. All submissions are made through their website by clicking ‘Apply Now” and completing the entry form and attaching the required video link.
There are so many deserving students in Atlantic Canada and their submissions are welcomed. A great aspect about this scholarship is that it is not based on academic grades and is open to all who wish to apply.
