The  Foundation (RRCF) will NOT be accepting applications for scholarships for the academic year commencing in September 2026.  Students currently holding scholarships will continue to be eligible for scholarship renewal once they meet the academic performance and other requirements currently in effect.

 

 

​

Scholarships awarded each year will support at least one university offered academic program and one certification program at a community college or other similar institution.

 

The maximum annual value of a scholarship to pursue a university degree program (for example BNursing or BComm) is $5,000. The maximum annual value of a scholarship to pursue a certification at a college (for example, Culinary Arts, Licensed Practical Nurse) is $3,000. 

 

To provide awardees with greater certainty as to their financial support for the duration of their studies, the Foundation will renew the scholarship awarded for each of 2 subsequent consecutive study periods depending on the program of study. Any such renewals will be subject to the awardees continuing their full-time studies and achieving a B grade (or better) in all core subject areas.  It is the responsibility of the scholarship holder to advise the Foundation of their eligibility for scholarship renewal (see Award Renewal).  

 

The selection of awardees will take into account the following criteria but not so as to limit the parameters of choice: financial need, academic achievement, integrity, innovation, commitment, demonstrated community service and society needs.
