Jake Weitz Memorial Scholarship - Future Mechanics

In 2025, $10,000 was awarded in scholarships, and we are continuing to invest in future mechanics across Canada. The Jake Weitz Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to support Canadian High School graduates pursuing a career in the trades, specifically in mechanics. 

This scholarship was created to honor my son, Jake Weitz, a young man whose love for mechanics was matched only by his generosity and willingness to help others. We aim to carry his legacy forward by supporting students in the field of mechanics (automotive, heavy duty, agriculture, and aviation mechanics).

Applications are being accepted until March 1, 2026 and more information can be found here.

General Awards Information

Apply for School Community and School Board Awards Here (opens in February)

There are countless scholarships and bursaries available to students entering universities and colleges.  It will take some research on your part.  Not all scholarships are based on marks.  All students should examine the selection criteria very carefully.  Many applications will require letters of reference and all will have application deadlines.  Please ensure that you provide sufficient time to those who will be writing letters of reference (at least one week).
