About scholarship giving
Club activity has centered on raising money to present scholarships both locally and at times abroad. In 1945, scholarships and bursaries were established to assist women entering university. In 1945 when the membership fee was $3.00, the scholarship award was $150.00 Amounts have increased, and in 2003 scholarships and bursaries totaled $2600. In 2007, the Club decided to support Oshawa's new university, UOIT, by donating its Scholarship Trust Fund in its entirety and at the same time take advantage of the provincial government's matching policy. There is now a healthy balance in that account allowing for a generous annual scholarship to a UOIT student.
Our focus now is continuing our fund-raising in support of the Durham College bursary program to create sufficient funds to become self sustaining. The Endowment Fund for Durham College stands at just over $10,000.
