Congratulations to this year’s recipients of the Next Steps Awards!

P2C-Students is excited to announce the recipients of its 2023 NEXT Steps Awards for students entering their first year of post-secondary education this fall. P2C-Students is pleased to celebrate this awards program in partnership with Youth for Christ/Youth Unlimited.

This year, the P2C-Students NEXT Steps Awards is awarding 104 prizes totalling $50,000, including a grand prize valued at $5000, one at $3000, and one at $2000. Additionally there are 101 other awards between $200 and $1000. These prizes were available to both English and French-speaking students.

Each applicant completed an awards application and provided two references: a peer reference and a reference from a mentor, leader, or pastor. After evaluating every application, we are thankful for each and every applicant for their diligent work and the overall quality of responses. We want to wish each student the best in their transition to college or university. 

As a reminder, there is no obligation for the award applicants or recipients to connect with P2C-Students; however, we are pleased to invite any and all students to connect with P2C-Students as they explore the Christian faith or seek community during their time in post-secondary education. P2C-Students looks forward to providing each of the applicants opportunities to thrive as they take their next steps into post-secondary.
