The CU Succeed Youth Bursary was established in 2016 by the Ontario Credit Union Foundation. Over the past nine years, we have awarded $736,000 to 577 students.
The Foundation provides funding for the CU Succeed Youth Bursary program open to resident Ontario post-secondary students in need of financial assistance for academic, technological, or vocational training.
The bursary will be awarded based primarily on two criteria – demonstrated financial need, and community involvement.
When reviewing the application, we also consider:
- Applicants (or their parent) must belong to a credit union which is a member of Ontario Credit Union Foundation (listing here).
- To receive an award, the recipient must have their own credit union account.
- Youth is defined as age 25 by June 30, of the application year. (Prior bursary recipients continuing their studies are eligible beyond age 25.)
- Programs of study may be academic, vocational, or technical at an accredited post-secondary institution in Canada or abroad.
- Available to those pursuing their first college diploma, undergraduate degree, or red seal.
- Graduate and post graduate students are not eligible.
- Acceptable grades (65% or higher) are required.
- Applicants must be Ontario residents and a Canadian citizen or have permanent residence status.
