EduTravel SHSM Scholarship

About Our Scholarship

EduTravel is a student tour operator that works to put together educational and enjoyable trips and events for students in Ontario, but at its core, EduTravel is about experiential learning. There is no better way to learn something than by experiencing it firsthand. We offer many trips and experiences, and our offerings include working with SHSM students to certify them in necessary skills and to give them the opportunity to learn and witness their specialized field. During our certifications, students have the opportunity to be creative and work on a team to learn applicable skills. Our SHSM events offer students the opportunity to explore future careers in their specialized areas and see the value and outcome of these careers.

At EduTravel, we strongly believe in the value of experiential learning and allowing students the experience to explore and learn in different ways. The goal of this scholarship is to reward students who have participated in this learning with us and to give them an opportunity to express why experiential learning matters to them.
