Awards and Scholarships
Growing to Meet the Needs of Our Students
Thanks to the support of our donors, Georgian’s awards and scholarships program has grown phenomenally over the last 25 years – benefiting thousands of students. As you can appreciate, much has changed for students over these years. Both tuition and living expenses have increased substantially making financial stress a reality for most students.
The needs of our students have required the College to examine the awards and scholarships program. After speaking to students, donors, and staff, changes were made to better address our students’ needs.
Over the next two years we will be introducing these changes for the betterment of our students. The College has introduced the Presidents’ Scholarships. These academic scholarships will encourage enrollment at Georgian College while at the same time assisting students in their first year of studies. Any size donation is welcome and donors may choose the academic area they wish to direct their donation.
Donors wishing to create named scholarships may still do so with a minimum donation of $1,000. Gift-in-kinds will continue to be accepted and will be used to supplement existing scholarships. For those donors wishing to make a lasting legacy, named endowments can be established with a minimum donation of $12,500. The principal remains intact and the interest generated supports an annual award/scholarship.
We appreciate the long standing commitment donors have demonstrated to our students over the years. Awards and Scholarships often make the difference in students’ ability to complete their studies. We believe these changes will ensure that we can more effectively support our students. The Office of Development and Alumni Relations continues to strive to ensure that the needs of our donors are also met. If you have any questions regarding our awards and scholarships program please contact the Manager of Annual Giving at (705) 728-1968 ext. 5446 or The Awards Officer at ext. 1211.
