The Sharp Student Award


In partnership with Sharp Electronics of Canada, kids.now is pleased to present the Sharp Student Award, which recognizes kids.now participants. Our volunteer coach-mentors select award nominees based on both their active participation in the kids.now program, and how well they reflect the program's guiding principles, which include:

  • a commitment to self-set goals
  • being serious about wanting to succeed, and
  • showing respect for self and others.

Twenty students are selected to receive a certificate and a Sharp electronic dictionary, courtesy of Sharp Electronics of Canada, at the end of each kids.now program season (spring and fall).
