Davidson Scholarship Fund
Click here for application form.
Through a bequest to the Association, the Davidson Scholarship
Fund was established to assist consumers to pursue an interest in
formal study at recognized teaching institutions. It provides some
financial assistance to take a course that may ultimately prepare
someone to return to work or give them the skills and confidence
to apply for their first job.
Appropriate applicants also include individuals wanting to study
in the field of mental health. Awards are between $400 and $800,
depending on the number of eligible applicants. Money can be used
to pay for courses, as well as books and transportation.
Application forms and criteria are available after November 15th.
January 30th is the deadline for all applications. Decisions are
made annually by February 15th and by February 24th, the Board of
Directors will be advised of awards and recipients will be
notified.
Jellian was able to return to school because of the
Davidson Scholarship and is pursuing a certificate in Human
Behaviour from Humber College. To find out more about Jellian
