- Youth is defined as age 25 or less by June 30, of the application year. (Prior bursary recipients continuing their studies are eligible beyond age 25.)

- Available to those pursuing a college diploma, undergraduate degree, or red seal. [Support individuals seeking their first bachelor’s degree only.]

Awards range from $1,000 to $3,000. We are distributed $100,000 in 2023.
Selection and Award Process:

- If a Foundation award is approved, it will be disbursed directly to your personal credit union account.
- You may be asked to attend your local branch for a photographic presentation which may be used in the Foundation’s and/or credit union’s newsletter or on the website as this is a means of showing the donors their contributions are at work.
Application Process:
- Applications are to be submitted online by the timetable deadlines noted below. There are absolutely no extensions.
- All content on the application is deemed important, but special attention will be given to your video or 500-word essay on why you should receive a bursary from OCUF.
