Thank you for your interest in the Clark Bursary.
There are a limited number of awards available for new applicants for fall 2022. Those that have previously received an award will not be eligible to receive additional funding, in order to give other youth an opportunity.
Please check for more information in winter 2023.

The Clark Bursary program was established in 1989 through a generous donation by Ron and Nancy Clark of Caledonia, with the goal of assisting youth in and from care to achieve their academic and career goals.
Young people 30 years of age or younger, that are or have been ‘in care’ through a Children’s Aid Society (CAS) or Indigenous Child Wellbeing Society (ICWS) in Ontario, can provide proof of educational activity and have not previously been awarded a Clark Bursary.
The total award amount of $2,000 is paid in one sum to the recipient.
