Student Scholarship Program – NEW up to $2000! 

The Russell Inn offers up to $500 per year in a scholarship fund to students for every year worked at The    Russell Inn.  This is not a “one winner contest.”  Every student who graduates while working at The   Russell Inn will receive this scholarship.

• The student does not have to continue with secondary education to receive their funds. If they do not attend secondary school, it will be considered a bonus.

Details/Requirements:

• Scholarship amount will be between $100 -$500/year for each year worked. (The student employee must work at the Russell Inn until the end of Grade 12 to receive their scholarship).

Example:

Works Grade 9 – 12: $500 x 4 years = $2000.00

Works Grade 10 – 12: $500 x 3 years = $1500.00

Works Grade 11 – 12: $500 x 2 years = $1000.00

Works Grade 12: $500 x 1 year = $500.00

• To be eligible for the year, employment must commence before December 1^st of that year.
• If the student starts work at The Russell Inn while in Grade 12, they must start before October 30^th of that year and must stay and work until August 15^th.
• Students can transfer to different departments within The Russell Inn and maintain their eligibility; however, the employee must stay within the new department for a minimum of 3 months.
• Hour Requirement UPDATED – the goal is that students work 2 shifts per week to received the
  maximum $500/year. We recognize that students may be involved in sports, volunteer work or leadership roles in their school or community. Bearing this in mind, the hour requirements has been updated and made more reflective of today’s students and their typical involvements.
• Hour categories have been tiered and hours worked can be per year or collectively over the sum of total (up to 4) years worked:

Tier 1 – $100/year; Maximum scholarship amount $200
• Average 5 – 6 hours per week during Pool Lifeguard season Dec – April (1 shift/week)

**Please note that time off for exams and other school events is  expected – this time can be made up at a later date.
