Note: The e-mail address is the system’s primary means of identifying a user. If you have submitted a scholarship application to the Foundation before June 2022 and your current e-mail address was linked to the application, the system will recognize it and automatically associate you with the organization for which that application was submitted.

If this is the case, you will not need to enter the information below. However, please check the address associated with the organization. If it is out of date, please inform us by e-mail at fondation@fjab.qc.ca and we will make the correction. You can then go the Applicant Dashboard section.
