The Dr. Ernest and Minnie Mehl Scholarship was established by Mrs. Minnie Mehl through Alberta Student Aid. Mrs. Mehl wanted to help Alberta after many wonderful years as a teacher, wife and valued community member. Students must have completed Grade 12 in Alberta at a school that follows the Alberta Education Curriculum, and must be continuing their studies at a degree granting post-secondary school in Canada. Recipients are selected from applications for an Alexander Rutherford Scholarship. A separate application is not required. Grade 12 high school students are ranked according to the same criteria as for the Rutherford Scholars as determined on the first writing of Diploma Examinations in the following courses: One of English Language Arts 30-1, 30-2, or Francais 30-1, and Social Studies 30, 30-1 or 30-2. Plus any three other subjects: Mathematics 30-1 or 30-2; French Language Arts 10-1; Biology 30; Chemistry 30; Physics 30; or Science 30. Alexander Rutherford Scholarship applicants must have completed high school on or after September 30, 1980. They must be enrolled in a full course load in a designated undergraduate post-secondary or an apprenticeship program of at least one semester in length. Students must apply once their official high school transcript marks are available and when they are currently enrolled in full-time post-secondary studies. Requirements for high school transcript marks will vary. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Alberta Heritage Scholarship Fund for more information.
