The Cmolik Foundation Scholarships

We award scholarships to youth who have faced adversity in their lives and demonstrated tenacity. Many of our students would not be able to access post-secondary education without our help. With hard work and our support, their dreams can become reality.

Students who have lived in Canada for at least seven years and have experienced adversity in their lives are eligible to apply. They may not have top grades through high school but must be capable of succeeding at the post-secondary level.

• Be a current resident of BC
• Have lived in Canada for at least 7 years,
• Be in Grade 12 or a recent secondary school graduate,
• Have demonstrated financial need,
• Have faced adversity,
• Plan to be a full-time student,
• Be ineligible for the BC Tuition Waiver Program (for former youth in care),
• Use funding for a post-secondary institution, trade or college, and
• Be endorsed by their school principal.

In addition to meeting the eligibility requirements, student applications will be adjudicated by a selection committee that will consider the student’s proven resilience in the face of adversity, their positive work ethic, their academic suitability, their contributions to their community, the clarity of their educational goals, their focused commitment, their fit with the organization, and the support of their references.

If you meet the requirements of this scholarship, please come and see me as we need to put one students name forward

Deadline for Application is February 5 so please come see me before the holidays start.

Terry Fox Award Recipients are eligible to receive the Award until they graduate with their first university degree or diploma (for a maximum of four years), provided they maintain satisfactory academic standing and a standard of humanitarian work and personal conduct which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, justifies the award.

A stipend of $7,000 is issued directly to the institution each year in two installments of $3,500, one in September and one in January.

Recipients of the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award may not receive more than $15,000 in total scholarships annually (including the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award). If a student’s awards exceed this amount, any excess will be deducted from the student’s Terry Fox Award.

If a student’s academic expenses are covered by another source, they may choose to decline acceptance of the financial portion of the award. They will still be granted the distinction of being a Terry Fox Scholar.
