Every year, the J. Harper Kent Charitable Foundation awards scholarships to students from Bathurst High School and École Secondaire Népisiquit.  Since the foundation was established in 1976, it has awarded more than five million dollars to students from the Chaleur region. The value of the scholarships have increased in value to echo Mr. Kent’s strong dedication to education, as well as to address rising costs of tuition. Up to full tuition is awarded to successful recipients.
The scholarships are unique in that the foundation takes a very holistic approach in awarding them, looking at not only academic achievement and financial need, but also community involvement and future aspirations.

  • Candidates must be Canadian Citizens.
  • Only residents from the Bathurst area graduating from either of the two Bathurst high schools need apply.
  • Candidates will be selected based on both academic achievements and financial need.
  • Scholarships will be granted for full time attendance at college/university.
  • Priority will be given to candidates entering college/university at the first year level. Candidates must apply each year.
  • This is a two part application form and each part must be completed and received by the due dates.
  • The application deadline is always June 1st for Part One. Part Two is always due June 30th.
