We believe in recognizing our leaders of tomorrow, who've made a positive impact in our community, inspire and give us hope for the future. We encourage students in our community entering their first year of full-time post-secondary study to apply for the John West Memorial "Leaders of Tomorrow" Scholarship. The award will honour the achievements of senior students who are entering their first year of full-time post-secondary study at college, university or equivalent. The awards, valued at $1,000 each, will be distributed to two (2) applicants per year. Applicants must be a resident of Aurora or attend secondary school in Aurora. This award would not have been possible without the donation of funds from former Mayor John West, who passed away in December 2013. The former Mayor and long-serving Councillor provided more than two decades of public service to The Town of Aurora between 1979 and 2006. |
