CICN
Awards
The awards
granted by CICN aim to recognize and commend students whose
leadership, special achievements or excellent academic
results would serve as an inspiration to others. They also
honour the contributions made by youths who have excelled in
their respective fields of endeavour as well as contributed
back to the community. Currently, we have three awards for
high school students in Canada.
Eligibility
Awards are
open to individuals between the ages of 16 and 18
(inclusive), presently enrolled in a high school (in Canada
or overseas), who have made a difference, are encouraged to
submit an application for a CICN Youth Award.
Applicant must
be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant.
Selection Criteria
CICN awards
are given out to the ideal Canadian students based on their
achievements in different areas (such as athletic or
artistic accomplishments; or contributions to clubs and
extra-curricular activities), academic results, and their
leadership in their local community.
Award
recipients are selected for their dedication and commitment
to making a difference in their schools or community by
showing their strong leaderships, special achievements or
excellent academic results and have shown their capability
to lead and inspire others and demonstrate respect for
others and responsibility in their schools and/or community.

will be selected from all the applicants nationwide.
Each award recipient will receive a $1,000 scholarship
coupon from our sponsor,
Fox College of Business, for their selected educational
programs.
Selection Process
Applications
will be reviewed by an Award Committee of CICN.
Once all of
the applications have been reviewed by the committee, the
individuals qualified for our awards will be short-listed,
and their referees may be contacted by CICN staff for
verification.
Award
recipients will be contacted by CICN by the end of October
via email. Currently, there is no award ceremony due to
geographic diversification. We plan to have the provincial
ceremony in the near future.
