Nominations are accepted each year for the Dr. MIRZA EDUCATIONAL AGGA Scholarship Draw for secondary school students. Typically, we award 2 scholarships each year; in 2021 we have increased the amount of each scholarship to $1000.00. It is awarded at the Annual Meeting in November. All nominations are checked for eligibility and once confirmed, are placed in a hat, and a name is drawn. The board increased amount awarded to better reflect the increased cost of post-secondary education.
