Canadian Forces Family Scholarship

Open to students registered in grade 12 who are completing the requirements of a high school diploma and are in good academic standing. Applicants must be a child or dependent of a current or former serving member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and must provide proof of parent or guardian’s service in the CAF such as a copy of a Military Service Identification Card, a Veteran’s Service Card, or a Certificate of Service.

Applicants must exemplify good character through demonstrated involvement or support in the school and/or community. Applicants are required to submit one letter of reference. The letter may be provided by a community leader representing a community-based organization or a school official, and should speak to the applicant’s leadership, volunteerism and involvement in the community.

Selection will be based on volunteerism and the reference.

Students can apply by creating an account in EducationMatters’ Student Award Application Portal. Applicants should check with their guidance office for more information and are encouraged to discuss their application with the Scholarship Coordinator at their high school.
