Peacock Family Award

Presented to a student enrolled in any year of any business program at the Barrie campus of Georgian College. The recipient demonstrates financial need and dedication to his or her career path. Preference will be given to students who have been under the care of Family Connections (formerly Children’s Aid Society) or have benefited from the services provided by the YMCA Youth Services and Leadership Programs or Big Brothers Big Sisters. Applicants who meet this requirement are asked to submit an additional letter of support along with the other required documents for the award.
This award is renewable for the length of the recipient’s program. The recipients must submit a letter outlining their progress within the program, how the award assisted them with their studies, and how they could benefit from receiving the award again. The recipients must maintain a 70 per cent or higher average and be in good academic standing in order to be eligible each following year. Frequent or multiple switches, drops, withdrawals and/or repeats of programs may be considered a lack of academic progress and direction. The Awards Office will invite the recipients to submit the required information each year.
