Mandin Award
The Mandin Award was established in 1991 in memory of Maurice, Susan, Islay, and Janelle Mandin. Maurice and Susan Mandin were teachers with a sincere interest in children with special needs. Isaly and Janelle, their daughters, were students.
The Award has two purposes. The primary one is to provide resources that will have the greatest positive impact for children from age 4-21 within Alberta. The second goal is to encourage those children who receive funds to pursue their educational goals with enthusiasm and confidence.
An award is based on this criteria:
- An award of up to $400 will be given to assist an individual who has a learning disability and/or ADHD.
- The individual will be between four & 21 years of age
- The individual will be an Alberta resident.
- Eligible programs and services will include, but are not limited to, supporting the costs of attending summer camp, social skill development courses, tutoring, and assessments.</li>
- Disbursement of the fund will be made directly to the program or service provider upon receipt of an invoice</li>
- The award deadline is May 31 of every year.</li>
Please ensure your application is pertinent to the field of learning disabilities. The awards committee will use the definition of learning disabilities that was adopted by the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada in 2002.
