Entrance Scholarships
Mohawk College seeks to entice the best and brightest students from secondary schools across the Province through Entrance Scholarships. These are specialized student awards for students entering their first year at Mohawk, and are based on their academic performance at secondary school. Entrance Scholarships are a vital recruitment tool for the college and will help Mohawk increase enrolment in our programs.Mohawk College invites you to be a part of our vision for Student Awards: to attract the best and brightest students from across the province through the most significant scholarship and bursary program of any Ontario college, and to ensure that no student will be turned away due to an inability to pay tuition.
Gifts of any size to the Student Award program are appreciated. Donors who wish to make a more substantial contribution have various options to choose from.
- Annual Giving Fund: A minimum pledge of $500 a year for five years ($2,500 total gift) will create a scholarship or bursary. Your gift is awarded entirely to student recipients.
- Endowment Fund: A gift to the Mohawk Endowment Fund is permanently held and .03% of the interest earned each year is awarded to students as scholarships and bursaries. A minimum pledge of $2,500 a year for five years ($12,500 total gift) will, once the pledge is fulfilled, create a scholarship or bursary worth $375 a year in perpetuity.
- Government Matching opportunities: The Ontario Trust for Student Support (OTSS) program matches gifts used to create endowed bursaries for students. Your pledge of $2,500 a year for five years to the Endowment Fund will be matched by the Province of Ontario every year, establishing an endowed fund of $25,000 ($12,500 from the donor matched by $12,500 from the Province) that will generate a bursary of $750 per year in perpetuity.
Donors have the option to create a named scholarship or bursary in honor of an individual, company or family name. Pledges can be fulfilled through monthly, yearly, semi-annually or quarterly payments by cheque or credit card.
