Community Futures Sunshine Coast is seeking a local entrepreneur who could use $750 to further advance their education or general knowledge in business or social enterprise development.
The funds will come from a bursary created through an endowment two years ago, known as the Barrie Wilbee Bursary for Sunshine Coast Entrepreneurs. Wilbee and his wife Bev will present the award during the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation’s annual granting ceremony June 20.
“We’re excited to support emerging business leaders who are committed to growing and advancing the Sunshine Coast through responsible business practices,” Wilbee said. “We recognize it’s not easy for start-up entrepreneurs especially, to free up time and cash for ongoing learning and development, and we hope this bursary will help.”
The bursary is open to Sunshine Coast residents and their immediate family members. Applicants should be able to describe what type of course, workshop, personal development, or seminar they are interested in taking, and how financial support would help advance personal leadership of their business or social enterprise. An application form can be found at www.communityfutures.org/events or contact [email protected] to have the application sent to you.
The deadline for applications is 12 noon on Friday, June 8. Detailed questions can be directed to Zarah at 604-885-1959 ext. 221.
