SCHOLARSHIPS
The Scholarship Program
In 2012, we partnered with Scotiabank to establish the Scotiabank Sikh Foundation Scholarship. This program is designed to help exceptional Sikh youth from Ontario pursue studies at a Canadian university. This program has been so well received that we continue to expand to include other sponsors. We now annually award $5,000 to multiple selected candidates.
We believe in investing in students who require financial assistance and demonstrate academic excellence, community involvement, and a commitment to intellectual and personal development. The scholarship selection process is managed by an independent three-party committee, and students are awarded scholarships on the eve of our Centennial Gala.
