Bursaries and Scholarships
Catholic Youth Citizenship Bursary
Presented annually, to a graduating student enrolled in a catholic secondary school, who has demonstrated over the previous school year, through their actions, their dedication in the exercising of their rights and duties as participants in our Canadian democracy, to contribute to civil and respectful public dialogue, in the shaping of their, and their peers’ choices in the light of Catholic teaching regarding human life, dignity, marriage and family, justice and peace, as well as care for creation, and the common good.
The “Catholic Youth Citizenship Bursary” is presented annually to a deserving student of St. Patrick and Immaculata Catholic High Schools who meets the criteria set out above.
The amount of the annual bursary will be determined annual by the council’s Board of Trustees. However, the amount of the individual bursary shall not be less than $200 per Catholic high school.
Ontario State Knights of Columbus Bursary Program
The Knights of Columbus in Ontario recognizes the importance of Post-Secondary School education so the “Ontario State Chaplains Bursary program” was established to award to five (5) successful applicants each year with a Bursary of $1,000.00 each.
This program provides a bursary to assist Knights and members of their families entering the first year of a post-secondary education. Candidates who are eligible for an Ontario Knights of Columbus Bursary are:
1. A member of the Knights of Columbus of Ontario in good standing.
2. The wife, son or daughter of a member in good standing.
3. The wife, son or daughter of a deceased member in good standing at the time of his death.
4. A grandchild who is the legal ward of a member in good standing.
Applications must be submitted by May 1 of the current year. Schools and individuals may reproduce the application form or download it through our ON State K of C website here.
Although the applicant’s marks are important and taken into consideration, it is important to note that in many cases where an applicant is successful, it is based on their need. The bursary recipients will be announced by the end of June of the current year.
Note: One of the more prominent comments we receive each year is that members were not aware that the bursaries were available. Through this website we hope to publicize more widely that the Knights of Columbus are interested in assisting those entering Post-Secondary Education. Please assist us with the dissemination of this information so that as many people as possible can take advantage of this opportunity.
There are many more scholarships and bursaries available through the Knights of Columbus’ Supreme Council as well. You can check these out here.
