SCF administers a wide range of scholarships, bursaries and awards honouring donors' families, causes and communities — supporting students in the trades, health sciences, agriculture, education, the arts and more.
Most applications must be downloaded, filled out, and emailed to the Foundation — this webpage does not have an active portal to receive applications. A few scholarships are administered directly by a partner organization or the Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB); those are noted below and link straight to the organization's own site. Questions can be directed to [email protected] or 519-332-2588.
