What is the AWARDS TRUST FUND? 

The Awards Trust Fund is a registered charitable organization established for the following purposes: 

• to acknowledge the hard work and outstanding achievements of our students; 
• to provide financial aid to help our graduates pursue their post-secondary goals; 
• to direct awards, on an annual basis, to as many deserving students as possible at our high schools; 
• to issue official receipts to donors for income tax purposes.

 Types of Awards 

The Awards Trust Fund administers and coordinates the distribution of the following types of awards: 

Scholarships:
Monetary awards for which there are specific criteria, one of which is high academic achievement in one or more subject areas. 

Awards:
Monetary and non-monetary awards for which there are specific criteria identified by the sponsors. 

Contributions are always Invited 

We need contributions in order to attach a monetary prize to the awards generated by the Awards Trust Fund. It is only through the generosity of business and industry, Catholic organizations, and local individuals who wish to invest in the future of our community that many deserving young people are acknowledged for their hard work as well as aided financially to pursue their post-secondary studies.

Contributors have the opportunity to designate their funds to a particular award that would bear the name of a specific individual or organization, or contributors may wish to simply allow the Awards Trust Fund to direct a general contribution to one of the established awards or bursaries. 

“PATRONS” of the AWARDS TRUST FUND 

All contributions are acknowledged at graduation exercises through a program insert. Of course, all requests for anonymity are respected. Since the Awards Trust Fund is registered as a charitable organization, all contributors receive an official receipt for tax purposes.
