Educational Awards

Regional Scholarship Program
The Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation (OCRI) administers a number of awards on behalf of the Community Foundation under the Regional Scholarship Program. These awards are for graduating high school students within the Ottawa region who will be entering first year of post-secondary studies.

The Community Foundation of Ottawa will not be offering educational awards through the Regional Scholarship Program this year, with the exception of the two awards being offered through the Black Canadian Scholarship Fund.

The Black Canadian Scholarship Fund was established in 1996 to encourage academic excellence and promote community leadership by providing annual scholarships to outstanding, young, black students in Ottawa.
