ONE City Scholarship Fund

The ONE City Scholarship Fund was created by educators to support the talents and resilience of Toronto’s young people. We award scholarships to students who have excelled academically despite facing substantial personal and financial obstacles.

2024 application now open until April 10!

 
 

Meet our 2023 ONE City Scholars

Our recipients have navigated challenges and disruptions with strength, self-awareness, and wisdom. They have found a way to excel, to push forward. Faced with the reality of inequity in our city, they are hopeful and committed to making a difference for themselves, their families and our society. These talented young people are change makers and community builders — not of our future, but of today.
