Applicants are required to complete an essay addressing the question, what is the role of the CBC in our community? and to provide recent high school transcripts.

"CBC is committed to representing the diversity of people and voices that make up Canada and this community," explains John Bertrand, Managing Director of English Radio and Television for CBC Manitoba. "We want talented young people to consider working here to help us do that. We've created this scholarship to support and encourage those high school students who've already made the decision to pursue a career in journalism or broadcasting. They will be the CBC journalists and programmers of the future."
