Robert Jonathan Makortoff Memorial Safety Scholarship

The Robert Jonathan Makortoff Memorial Safety Scholarship is awarded to Red Deer Polytechnic apprentices who demonstrate excellence in workplace safety education. This scholarship recognizes students who have completed apprenticeship programs and achieved the highest grades in two Red Deer Polytechnic safety modules. These safety assessments are completed through the BlackBoard learning management system between September and May 31 annually. The scholarship is funded through the Robert Jonathon Makortoff Memorial Endowment and provides financial support to students who prioritize safety training and education. To be considered for this award, students must complete safety assessments in their BlackBoard account and achieve a grade of 80% or higher on two safety modules. Recipients are automatically considered based on their completed General Application, making the application process streamlined for eligible students.
