Graduation Awards

Graduation Awards are granted to students who have received at least one Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada (CAFC)’s scholarship or bursary in support of a post-secondary program (College, University, Trade School) which has been completed or is close to being done*.

*In this calendar year, after the end of the current semester, or after the summer semester. If your program will be done at the end of the fall semester (December) or later, please wait to apply for the 2026 Graduation Award.

Graduation Awards grant $500 for each year of the standard length of your program, up to a maximum of $2000. The awards are paid in two installments: 90% will be granted in the summer, and the remaining 10% will be granted in February after a short survey.
