CFUW MISSISSAUGA SCHOLARSHIPS

All members support the post-secondary education of women and girls by funding a range of scholarships and awards for Mississauga residents.

  • A minimum of four scholarships are awarded each year through the Peel District School Board, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board to young women graduating high school and going on to a Canadian accredited post-secondary institution. The Scholarship is awarded based on financial need and academic performance.

    Applications are available in late January through the guidance departments of Mississauga high schools; submissions are due in April.

  • One award is presented annually to help offset the cost of tuition for the first year of an accredited Canadian post-secondary program for a female student who uses mobility devices or prosthetics, or has received accommodation by the school’s academic resource department. This is a donor-funded award.

    Applications are available in late January through the guidance departments of Mississauga high schools; submissions are due in April.

  • One scholarship is awarded to a female student enrolled full-time in the second year of any undergraduate programme (Diploma or Bachelor). This Scholarship is based on academic standing and financial need.

    The recipient is selected by Sheridan College in the winter semester.
