The award

 

Five students will receive a one-time scholarship worth $2,000. Sun Life Global Investments strongly believes in the importance of planning for retirement. It’s central to our mission in helping Canadians build wealth and achieve lifetime financial security. We have made it a priority to empower and develop the next generation of leaders, both inside and outside of the organization. 

How do I apply?

  • Create a one-page infographic (300-500 words) on why retirement planning is important now  - no matter what your age.

    As a student/young adult consider:

    • Why think about retirement now?
    • What are the benefits of starting early? 
    • What are ways to start saving? 
    • How to invest for your future? 
    • How much should you save? 

     

    These are some questions to help you get started. You do not need to answer all of them. The point of the infographic is to articulate the importance of saving for your future. Get Creative! Use infographics, statistics, and images to help illustrate your point. We have lots of resources to help you. Check out our Retirement Hub, Saving Accounts Insights and articles like this one on 'How to estimate when your money will double  - `The rule of 72.' 

     

    Sun Life Global Investments is committed to supporting you every step of the way.
