Please take the time to review the Neekoo Rules of Engagement, as these are the rules by which we will be assessing all grant applicants.

• The Neekoo Grant will be awarded to young students who reflect the fundamental values upon which Neekoo was founded. To that end, applicants will be judged on all fronts. Grants will be awarded to well-rounded individuals who are serious about both their academic/creative pursuits as well as their positive contribution to our community.
• All information provided by applicants will remain confidential.
• Successful recipients will receive ongoing support through Advisory program. The program offers a wide range of support from connecting the grant recipient with professionals within his/her field to providing financial guidance or assisting with career selection.
• Neekoo reserves the right to request repayment should the Grant Recipient terminates studies prematurely before the end of the year upon which the financial assistance has been awarded or if it is uncovered that information provided by the recipient has been falsified.
• Successful recipients agree to be profiled in Neekoo publications, sponsored events and website. Prior to being profiled, we will inform recipients for their approval.
• All Grant payments will be issued directly to the post-secondary institution chosen by the Grant recipient in order to ensure that the financial aid is used for educational advancement. If a student is receiving tuition support through another scholarship or grant program, it will be up to the student to inform Neekoo in advance, otherwise it may jeopardize their Neekoo Grant acceptance.
• All personal information provided in this application is only collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act (British Columbia). Personal information provided by grant recipients will be stored in a safe location and will only be used or disclosed for the purposes stated herein.
• Even though the application form should be completed in English, successful candidates should be able to communicate in Farsi. This may be demonstrated orally at the interview.
• Neekoo reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the grant, in whole or in part, at any time, including the right to decide not to award grants in any particular year.
