Inter Pipeline’s Bursary Program benefits local students

Inter Pipeline has been giving back to the community for over 17 years by way of their bursary program called Discovery Awards. This program supports youth who reside in communities where Inter Pipeline operates in, by providing funding to high school students who are pursuing a post-secondary education in an industry related field. Examples of an industry related field include anything from Business, Environment, Engineering degrees to trades and apprenticeships.

The Awards are granted to high school students who have demonstrated academic commitment and have a financial need. In addition to the first-year post-secondary students receiving grants, these same students can apply for an additional Award for their second year of post-secondary education.

In 2020, 47 bursaries of $2,000 were awarded by Inter Pipeline to students in communities all over Alberta and Saskatchewan. The total funds distributed through the program was $94,000 this year.

During the first couple weeks of October, Inter Pipeline will be celebrating the achievements of these students by publishing their names in many local newspapers across the province.

Award applications are distributed to designated high school in early February of every year, and the school nominates a candidate by June 1st. Each application must be completed and signed by a School Guidance Counsellor or Principal. Inter Pipeline does not accept applications that do not come directly from the school.
