National Winners
The 2 (two) students – one male and one female - who score highest across the country will be selected as National Winners. Each winner receives:
- A scholarship of $5,000
- A fully paid weekend for each winner* (and a parent/guardian) to New York City, where winners will be honoured at a special banquet, along with American students who have been chosen as Wendy’s High School Heisman award winners.
*Please note, the National Winners must have a valid Canadian Passport in order to travel to US.
Regional Winners
There will be 30 Regional winners:
- The top nine (9) Regional winners will receive a scholarship of $5,000 each. Should a National winner be unable to participate in the New York City trip, the highest scoring Regional winner (of the same gender) will be invited to go in their place.
- An additional twenty-one (21) Regional winners will each receive a scholarship of $1,000
