Scholarships are awarded to students from the area that was covered by Dr. Holmes practice, which includes Elrose, Eatonia, Eston, Kindersley, Brock and Kyle. Applicants who are pursuing a career in the health field were required to apply by mid-September to be eligible.
Each applicant is required to submit a transcript of marks from their most recent year of study, a proof of full-time enrolment letter, a volunteer involvement reference, employment reference, as well as an academic reference. A selection committee awards the scholarships based on qualifications.
The scholarship continues as the lasting legacy of Dr. Holmes, and is made possible through the generous donations from the local communities and beyond.
