$500 - so what…not worth it. Keep scrolling. For those who chose to keep reading, let me offer this perspective: I’ve been hiring team members for 20+ years. When reviewing applications, I put a lot of weight towards those who have won bursaries. Why? They care. They want to show they’re making a difference and/or have aspirations to make positive change. That’s who I want to collaborate with. Consider applying to BeSpatial Ontario’s student bursary - https://lnkd.in/eYfn4NA3
