Scholarships

ECECAF Scholarship Program

The ECECAF scholarship program provides up to $5,500 over two terms ($2,750 per term), and awarded over $826,000 in the past year.

Members’ children can benefit from ECECAF post-secondary scholarships. The ever-rising costs of education can place a financial strain on our members. Scholarships are the ideal form of student aid to help subsidize these costs, and they never have to be repaid.

Children are eligible to receive a scholarship towards post-secondary tuition fees provided that:

• Parent(s) contribute to the Fund for a minimum of 12 consecutive months prior to the start date of the first term application
• Student age must be under 25 years at the start date of the scholarship term
• Student must be accepted into an accredited and approved full-time educational post-secondary program (or apprenticeship)
• Fall (September) term applications are to be submitted after receiving grades in December and by March 31
• Winter (January) term applications are to be submitted after receiving grades in April and by July 31
• Full-year programs and apprenticeships are to be submitted within 90 days of receiving grades

Extenuating circumstances with regard to these conditions may exist. The Board of Trustees reviews these on a case-by-case basis.
