About this opportunity

The Small Town Big Life Scholarship was established through the generous proceeds from the 2025 Ladies Gala: Vogue for a Better World. This annual scholarship is a powerful expression of women empowering women—created by women, for women—with a vision to uplift and invest in the next generation of leaders. The scholarship celebrates the strength, potential, and ambition of young women in rural communities. It is open to female high school graduates aged 17 to 20 from the Drayton Valley–Brazeau County area in Alberta, Canada, and supports those pursuing post-secondary education, trades, or career training away from home. The scholarship provides $1,500 to support educational pursuits at qualified universities, secondary colleges, or trade schools.
