Who We Are
The St. Clair College Foundation serves as the primary fundraising body for the College’s general scholarship program. As a registered charitable organization, the St. Clair College Foundation is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors who strive to assist St. Clair College in achieving its vision of "excellence in all we do" while generating philanthropic support for students and their academic pursuits.
With the generous support of our donors, the St. Clair College Foundation provides students with more than $500,000 annually in scholarship awards. Full-time students have access to more than $3 million in financial supports through the College’s scholarship, bursary, and award programs.
About Our Scholarship Program
The St. Clair College scholarship program was created to support the academic pursuits of our students with financial aid. Scholarships are available to full-time students who have a satisfactory academic standing (minimum Grade Point Average of 2.0 or higher) and meet any additionally outlined eligibility criteria as requested by our donors.
At St. Clair College, we strive to make education accessible for all students. To ensure scholarships are awarded to the best possible candidate(s), we proudly work with faculty and college staff to match students through our selection committees. Students can access our internal scholarship application starting October 1st of each year and have until mid-December to complete their submission.
Scholarships are presented to their recipients in February/March of each year, thanks to the generosity of our donors. Each year we honour our students and donors at our scholarship award ceremonies, donors are invited to attend, meet, and present their scholarship(s) to the deserving students.
