A budding filmmaker has been given $2500 to help pursue his dream.
Mason Mantha has received 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 Algonquin College for Filmmaking.
Both Mya Simpson and Roma Walker will also receive $500 as part of the MBC scholarship program.
Simpson says the idea of community has played an important role in her life.
She plans on getting involved in the health sector and is going to be attending the University of Guelph for Biomedical Engineering.
Walker, who is planning on studying Behavioural Psychology at St. Lawrence College in the fall, told us what community means to her.
This is the first time that My Broadcasting Corporation has offered the Community First Scholarship.
Congratulations to all winners!
