Scholarship Info
The Owen Sound CFUW Scholarship Program's mandate is to encourage young women in our community to pursue post-secondary education. To that end, the Scholarship Fund offers scholarships to young women graduating from secondary schools in June and proceeding to university in the fall of each year. Scholarships are offered at each of Owen Sound's three secondary schools yearly, and are funded solely by annual donations from CFUW members. Their generosity has allowed the Scholarship Fund Program to disburse over $14,000.00 since its inception in 1993. The CFUW Scholarship Fund is registered as a not-for-profit corporation in Ontario, and is a Registered Charity under the terms of the Income Tax Act (Federal), thus allowing the Fund to issue official tax receipts for donations.
