A budding filmmaker has been given $2500 to help pursue his dream.
Mason Mantha has recieved the Community First Scholarship awarded by My Broadcasting Corporation.
It is a simple motto, but Mantha believes community means helping your neighbours and treating them the way you want to be treated.
Mantha is thankful for the money and says it will help with food and rent while away at school.
Another recipient, Mya Simpson, who received $500, says the idea of community has played an important role in her life.
Simpson plans on getting involved in the health sector and is going to be attending the University of Guelph for Biomedical Engineering.
Roma Walker, who also received $500, told us what community means to her.
Walker is planning on studying Behavioural Psychology at St. Lawrence College in the fall.
