CFUW Orangeville & District supports scholarships for female students going on to post-secondary education from the four high schools in our area: Orangeville District SS, Westside SS, Centre Dufferin District HS and Robert F. Hall Catholic SS.
​At the club AGM in June 2018, the Club voted to support a scholarship program for Indigenous female students. The scholarship will be comprised of 2 parts:
Grade 10 award for a female student continuing to Grade 11 for $500
Grade 12 scholarship for post-secondary studies in any discipline for $2500
The scholarships will be administered by DAREarts, a local charity whose mission is to empower at-risk young people through the arts, by developing their leadership skills. DAREarts has a program that focuses on Indigenous youth called Indigenous First Roots, which uses the arts as tools to overcome the challenges of isolation, substance abuse and suicide. By harnessing the power of the arts and the DARE values, they will 'DARE to IGNITE CHANGE'. The scholarships will be awarded for a minimum of 5 years beginning in 2018-2019.
