CFUW Mississauga established its first scholarship for young women entering university in 1953. That first award was for $100 and was given to a female graduate of Port Credit High School. As the number of schools grew, so did the number of girls competing for the scholarship. Currently, the scholarship is open to all female residents of Mississauga who have attended a Mississauga high school for at least three years. The Scholarship guidelines and applications are available through each Mississauga secondary school. All questions should be addressed to the secondary school guidance personnel.

• 4 X $2,000 to Mississauga high school graduates who are accepted to attend Canadian universities
• 1 X $1,000 (extendable to a 2nd year) to a mature student accepted to attend a degree-granting college or university
• 1 X $1,500 (annually extendable up to 4 years) to a student selected by University of Toronto in Mississauga (UTM)

The Canadian Federation of University Women has a scholarship for graduate students. Information about that award is provided at the CFUW website.
