THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND OF THE CANADIAN FEDERATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN OSHAWA AND DISTRICT

The Scholarship Fund of the Canadian Federation of University Women Oshawa and District awards educational grants to women pursuing post-secondary studies in the Durham Region and broader GTA. The fund supports female students facing financial barriers to accessing higher education, including those returning to school after a career break or raising a family. By providing direct financial assistance, the organization removes obstacles that might otherwise prevent qualified women from completing degrees and professional credentials. The fund prioritizes applicants from the local community while recognizing the importance of education in advancing women's economic independence and career prospects. Selection considers both academic merit and demonstrated financial need.
