St. Vincent's Alumnae Scholarship Committee
The St. Vincent's Alumnae Scholarship Committee is a Canadian registered charity (Business Registration Number: 119204337RR0001) dedicated to supporting female students in their pursuit of post-secondary education. Established by the St. Vincent's Alumnae Association, the organization offers scholarships to high school graduates based on academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, community service, and financial need[1][3][5].

Structure and Operations

The committee awards multiple scholarships annually, including entrance scholarships valued at $500 each[1]. Recipients must demonstrate a strong scholastic record and active participation in volunteer or community initiatives[1][3]. Funds are disbursed directly to the recipient’s chosen institution upon proof of enrollment[1].

Eligibility and Application

Applicants submit a completed form, official transcripts, a personal letter outlining career goals, a letter of reference, and proof of acceptance to their post-secondary institution[2][5]. The committee reserves the right to withhold awards in years without suitable candidates[1].

Historical Note

The charitable arm operates independently, with scholarship funding supported through donations and alumni contributions[4]. Its focus on empowering women in education reflects the legacy of the St. Vincent's Alumnae Association[1][4].
