Scholarships & Awards

We fundraise throughout the year to support our Education Trust Fund. The fund provides annual awards to students at each of the four high schools on the Saanich Peninsula in School District #63.

In addition, our Club funds endowments and trusts that provide
annual awards and scholarships at both the University of Victoria and Camosun College. These awards are directed to students in a wide range of study areas, from History to Engineering Technology and from Computer Science to a Foundation in the Trades

Our awards are intended to recognize not only academic achievement, but also passion for the career of choice, teamwork and respect for teachers and fellow students.

Indigenous Awards Program Booklet “We believe that Indigenous learners, including us, reach our fullest potential and greatest joy when our connections with land and water, identity, and tradition are integrated into the ways we learn and teach.”
