The CREA Tuition Assistance and Loan Repayment Grant Committee is very pleased to report that CREA had a large number of applicants in 2020/2021 round of the program. All applicants were able to receive funding. A total of 21 loan repayment grants and 2 tuition assistance grants were awarded – awardees were notified on October 23, 2020. Congratulations to all!

The current sum will be apportioned to the programs dependent upon the applicant pool, with the following limits. Scholarships have a maximum of $1,000 per individual grant. Loan repayment grants are in the amount of $500 per award.
