In the spring, 2023, the directors of the Sargeant Bay Society initiated an annual bursary for one student graduating from high school on the lower Sunshine Coast, planning to pursue post secondary studies in a related area. In order to be eligible for this bursary, graduating students must be entering a post secondary education program with a focus on environmental stewardship, forestry, or marine biology. The amount of this bursary will be reviewed annually.
If you would like to support our efforts in this program, please consider making a tax deductible donation to the Sargeant Bay Society, specifying your interest to direct your donation to the Bursary Fund. Such donations may allow us to increase the bursary amount in future years.
