PHCHF Diversity Scholarship Program

PHCHF recognizes that the strength of its membership reflects the many cultures and identities represented within its co-ops. PHCHF encourages applications from these diverse communities.

Our Goal

The PHCHF Diversity Scholarship recognizes people living in co-ops who actively promote diversity through work in their community. We want to support their post-secondary education by providing award money and financial planning assistance.

The Scholarships

You could be eligible for a scholarship if you plan to attend a publicly funded Canadian college, university, or approved apprenticeship-training program. We offer scholarships for students who are just graduating from high school, are currently enrolled in a post-secondary program, or are returning to school after a break to complete an undergraduate program.

We have special scholarships awarded to individuals who have shown exceptional leadership in their school and community, taken an active role in mentoring young people, or demonstrated a commitment to social justice.

Scholarships are $6000 distributed over four years.
