About Scholarship
The Rutherford Scholar Award will be awarded to the top ten students, as determined on the first writing of Diploma Examinations. Recipients are selected from applications for an Alexander Rutherford Scholarship. A separate application is not required. Recipients are selected based on the first writing of Diploma Examinations from qualifying subjects. Qualifying subjects are: One of: English Language Arts 30-1, 30-2, or Francais 30-1; and Social Studies 30-1 or 30-2. Plus any three other subjects: Mathematics 30-1, or 30-2; French Language Arts 10-1; Biology 30; Chemistry 30; Physics 30; and Science 30. Senior high school students will be selected for the Alexander Rutherford Scholarship to encourage them to pursue post-secondary studies. Applicants must have completed high school on or after September 30, 1980. They must be enrolled in a full course load in a designated undergraduate post-secondary or an apprenticeship program of at least one semester in length. Students must apply once their official high school transcript marks are available and when they are currently enrolled in full-time post-secondary studies. Requirements for high school transcript marks will vary. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Alberta Heritage Scholarship Fund for more information.
