Is this scholarship right for me?
Students must analyze a specific environment problem and suggest ways that private property, and market principles might be used to provide a solution OR compare the effectiveness of market based environment policies with policies that rely more heavily on government regulation.
Both secondary and post-secondary students may enter, however, the secondary entries will be considered in a different category for the $250 award, but outstanding entries at the secondary level will not be excluded from winning the post-secondary prizes. Entries will be judged on originality, expression of ideas, presentation, and understanding of competitive markets.

· Entries may be submitted in both French and English, by mail or by an email attachment (2 copies must be submitted by mail)
