Maytree Scholarship Program

Offering scholarships to Protected Persons and Landed Immigrants who were Protected Persons to attend university or community college in Toronto.

The deadline for applications for the school year 2010/11 is now closed.

Maytree offers a scholarship program for protected persons or landed immigrants who were protected persons, between the ages 18 and 27, entering first or second year of a university (undergraduate studies) or community college in Toronto.  Protected persons are defined as immigrants who have been granted “refugee protection” by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Such persons may include “Convention Refugees” and “persons in need of protection.”

The scholarship program is designed for students with a sense of civic responsibility combined with a successful academic, work and/or volunteer service record.

Students must be living on their own with no parents in Canada.

The Maytree Scholarship Program is an intensive, participatory program which provides peer and financial support. The Scholarship Program covers tuition, books, transportation, rent and a living allowance, and it includes monthly meetings for a maximum of ten students. The group engages in voluntary work throughout the school year, which helps further develop a sense of civic engagement and responsibility.

Important: Maytree does not participate in the admission decisions of post-secondary institutions. Candidates are required to apply independently for admission to a university or community college.

Please note that The Maytree Awards Program which provided a one-time financial award will not be offered in 2010.
