The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) has announced the recipients of the University Women’s Club of Oakville Scholarship Fund awards for 2022.
The awards bestow $27,500 on the winning young women to guide them on their educational journey. The winners from Oakville’s publicly funded schools are celebrated for their “high academic achievement, outstanding community service, and demonstrated leadership.”
The scholarships are made possible through donations from CFUW members, their families, and friends. Some are due in part to the families of Richard Garnett, Ruth Schatz, Lilian Fulford and Miriam White, who honour their memories of a loved one with a named scholarship.
