Scholarships and Bursaries
Our scholarship fund provides scholarships and bursaries for local female students attending Nipissing University, Canadore College, and local secondary schools. Below you will find details about these scholarships and bursaries funded each year4 by the members of the club. We also have several additional special scholarships, including the Dr. Diana Walton Scholarship, the Terry Blair memorial scholarship, and in 2025 a one-time Indigenous Education Award.
Below is a list of the scholarships and bursaries we give each year in addition to the Dr. Diana Walton Scholarship. You will find the names of the winners reported each year by our scholarship chairs in their annual reports (available through links from the Information for Membership tab at the top of the page).
