Lampe Rural Opportunity Scholarship

Awarded to a returning student, currently enrolled in a vocational, Cegep or university program, who has persevered in their studies despite exceptional barriers or obstacles for learning.

The Rural Opportunity Scholarship is destined for Eastern Townships students who resided in a rural area during their secondary school education.

This scholarship was created in celebration of Lampe’s 30^th year and is funded by the generous donations of local individuals who not only wished to recognize Lampe’s 30^th anniversary but also support those students whose educational path may be compromised.

This scholarship is renewable (maximum 3 years).
