Petition to add Social Service to Bourses Perspective program

March 9th, 2022

The Quebec Government has launched a new program called Bourses Perspective, which are incentive scholarships for Québec students who are enrolled full-time in various programs at Québec CEGEPs, private colleges and universities. It is intended to increase the number of qualified individuals in the fields prioritized by the government due to a labour shortage in essential public services as well as in strategic economic sectors.

You have three more days to add your name to a petition calling on the government to add the Social Service Program.

Please sign the petition before it closes on March 12.
