The ADHS Alumni Student Bursary

 

    One of the goals of the ADHS Alumni Association has been to establish a bursary at Almonte High School to be
presented to two students when they graduate.

  This goal was realized in June 2010 when we presented the first two $500 ADHS Alumni Association bursaries to
two deserving students at the June 2010 Commencement ceremony. The recipients were Steven Dowker and Kaila
McCormick.

  This year, we presented two bursaries on June 29 at the 2011 Commencement ceremony to Ashley Millar and Erin
Milton.

  The criteria for the bursary is simple. It is presented to two graduates in good standing who are continuing their

education at a post secondary institution.

  At this time the money being presented to the students comes from the capital in the Bursary fund. We are
hoping to build the Bursary Fund to a point where it will sustain itself so the money presented to students comes
from the interest on the account.

  This is where we are appealing to you, the alumni of ADHS, to help build the the ADHS Alumni Bursary Fund.

  The ADHS Alumni Association is not classified as a charitable organization so we cannot issue tax receipts for
donations. However, the high school and the Upper Canada District School Board have the ability to issue tax
receipts. Through them the ADHSAA has established the bursary fund account where tax deductible donations can be
made.

  If you wish to contribute to the legacy of the ADHS Alumni Association please contact Steve Rooney at

  Cheques made out to "Almonte District High School" with a note that it is for the "ADHS Alumni Bursary Fund"
can be delivered to the ADHS office as well.
