Youth Scholarship

City Centre Community Association provides accessible programs and services in the City Centre area. We aim to provide inclusive social, cultural and recreational events, programs, and services to build healthy individuals, families and community. Volunteers are instrumental in making this possible. This scholarship honours a student graduating high school who has positively impacted and significantly contributed to City Centre Community Centre’s programs and community. Scholarships between $250 and $750 are available depending on the number of qualified candidates each school year. The Award must be used toward further education, although not necessarily a traditional post-secondary institution.
