The 2026 Conexus Youth Leadership Awards are here—and this year, we’re going bigger than ever! We know post-secondary is expensive, so we're awarding a total of $60,000 to students across the province! That’s twelve $5,000 awards up for grabs to help make your post‑secondary goals more achievable.

We’re celebrating young leaders who are graduating high school in the 2025-26 academic year – students who share our values, are members of Conexus, Cornerstone, or Synergy Credit Union (or have a parent/guardian who is), and are making positive impacts in their communities.

This could be your moment. Apply today and share your story!
