The Canadian Junior Limousin Association (CJLA) will award one travel bursary valued at up to $1,000 annually, subject to available funding. The bursary will be awarded to a member in good standing based on an essay submission. Applications will be reviewed by one to three independent judges, depending on the number of submissions received.
