The Dr. Daniel Andreae Scholarship for Community Engagement is awarded annually to one student who demonstrates academic and personal excellence and a strong commitment to volunteering. The scholarship provides CAD 30,000 toward tuition for a full academic year; it is merit-based, not needs-based. Applicants must be Canadian citizens who are academically eligible and have completed at least three years of high school, with three or more years of community involvement. Applications for the scholarship must be uploaded to the scholarship portal and include an application form signed by student and parent/guardian; a 5–7 minute video describing community contributions; a current resume; and a letter of recommendation; shortlisted applicants attend an interview with the scholarship committee including Dr. Andreae; notices are emailed within about a week after the interviews; the 2026-27 year is the award year.
Neuchâtel Junior College (NJC) offers a Canadian curriculum-based international high school program in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Students take Ontario Grade 12 courses in the final year or during a gap year to earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, with credits from non-Ontario jurisdictions counted toward the diploma. The program is a pre-university year with small classes and a supportive learning environment, and it supports admission to Canadian, US and international universities. It emphasizes international immersion and French-language exposure by living with Swiss hosts and travel integrated into the curriculum. The founder Leonard Wilde believed, “To be a leader today, one must travel the world,” guiding the travel-embedded program. Facilities include a Neuchâtel campus on Lake Neuchâtel; the Ontario Diploma is complemented by a university guidance team offering one-on-one and group support. The Dr. Daniel Andreae Scholarship for Community Engagement provides CAD 30,000 toward tuition for 2026–27 for qualified, globally eligible applicants.
